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)
