How to install a water meter How to install a water meter

The specific installation steps are as follows:

1. When choosing a water meter, you need to choose a water meter with the same caliber according to the caliber of your own water pipe.

2. The water meter shall be installed horizontally, generally with the surface facing upwards, and the arrow in the water meter shall be consistent with the direction of the faucet. And before installing the water meter, make sure there are no other magazines in the water pipe to avoid shortening the service life of the water meter.

3. Valves should be installed upstream and downstream of water pipes, which should be opened when used. If they are not used for a long time, they should be closed.

4. It is necessary to install a certain length of straight pipe sections upstream and downstream of the water pipe, which will produce eddy currents at some bends. At this time, a rectifier should be added in front.

5. The outlet downstream of the water meter must be 0.5m higher than the water meter to ensure more accurate counting.
