This remote display paddle wheel series of meters are utilized when the sensor location isn’t easily accessible or viewable. A cable, up to 15′ in length, separates the display from the sensor allowing the display unit to be mounted at eye level. The sensor assembly is waterproof, the remote display unit is sealed, however it can not be mounted underwater or in direct sunlight.

The paddle wheel flow meter with remote display, when used in conjunction with the appropriate adapter, can monitor flows in pipes ranging in size from ½” to 8”. Paddle wheel flow meters are universally accepted as a means of measuring flow. Wide range in flow rates, negligible head-loss and good accuracy at a reasonable price, continue to make these meters popular. Easy removal for cleaning permit the meters to be mounted in lines with moderate particulate levels.

The optional plug allows the meter to be removed for maintenance or cleaning.  Additionally the meters can be certified with either a single point or 3 point certification, this is most used to meet a government agency requirement. The paddle wheel and pin will last for many years in clean water however if you want you can include a replacement.  If this is a new installation you will also require an adapter. Adapters come either premounted to a section of pipe, or as a strap on adapter(adapter glued to your existing pipe and hole drilled in the pipe by the installer). You can read about adapters here. You can read about flow rates and mounting guidelines here. If you need extra pipe adapters or plugs they can be order in the parts and accessories section.
