The POD Extension is used when the meter has an integral counter adapter bracket or for high temperature applications. The POD Extension is used to extend the connection away from the meter.
There are four POD Extension models available:
•49754 POD1 or POD5 – Fork Drive with Buna-N O-Ring •49756 POD2 – Fork Drive with Teflon O-Ring •49757 POD1 or POD5 – Blade Drive with Buna-N O-Ring •49759 POD2 – Blade Drive with Teflon O-Ring |

Once the existing hardware has been removed as described in the Retrofit Installations section of the Installation topic above, the POD Extension can be installed.
NOTE: Regardless of the POD Extension being used, the POD Pulser must be a FORK drive pulser.
Follow these steps to install the POD Extension:
1.Verify that the proper POD Extension Model was obtained by comparing the driver tang on the POD Extension to the driver tang on the packing gland that was removed in Step 5 of the Retrofit Installations section of the Installation topic above. There are two types of Packing Gland/POD Extension driver tangs: blade type and fork type. Blade type packing glands must be replaced with blade type POD Extensions. Fork type packing glands must be replaced with fork type POD Extensions. 2.Install the POD Extension using the two screws provided. There are two sets of holes in the POD Extension for these screws; one set is 1⅝" apart and the other is 1½" apart. Line up the holes with the meter to determine which set to use. Tighten the screws and torque them to 21-25 inch-pounds. 3.Once the POD Extension is in place, the POD may be installed onto the POD Extension. Align the POD Fork Tang with the internal POD Extension Driver. Use the two screws provided to mount the POD to the POD Extension using two of the tapped holes in the POD Extension. Using a ⁷⁄₃₂" box end wrench, tighten the screws and torque them to 21-25 inch-pounds. |
