Only pages 1-2 of the bulletin (specifications, ordering and dimensions) were used; the parts and trim pages were not reviewed for this listing. Bulletin error to confirm with the factory: several millimetre conversions in the dimension table do not match the inch values (for example DFG-201 A = 4.4" printed as 85 mm, DFA-401 A = 4.4" printed as 163 mm, DFA-601 A = 4.8" printed as 198 mm).

Specifications summarized from Smith Meter (INVALCO) bulletin SSIN051 Rev 0.1 (1/19) - pages 1-2 read; confirm current data with the factory before ordering.
