Note the following:

  • The water meter can be installed horizontally or vertically.
  • Ensure there is sufficient space for installation.
  • Horizontal installation is more accurate (i.e. a higher meteorological class).
  • The meter must be easily accessible for readout.
  • Settling paths are not required, neither upstream of nor downstream from the meter.
  • Install the flow measuring section between 2 shutoff valves; the arrow must be in the direction of the flow.
  • During construction, install a spacer (screw-on meter) or cover (measuring capsule meter).
  • Thoroughly flush the plant prior to installing the meter.
  • Comply with all local regulations and potable water permits on the use of water meters (installation, sealing, etc.)

Device sealing

  • After mounting the meter, seal all components to prevent tampering (observe national regulations):
  • Flow measuring section with fitting (inlet)
