NIBCO RG10290 M2000 Metering Station, 14"

Features:

• Stainless steel metering stations (also known as orifice plates) are used for the measurement of water flows in heating and chilled water circuits in HVAC systems
• Manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel, the orifice is integral with the body allowing for easy installation. Upstream and downstream pressure tapping points are provided in the body avoiding the need for pressure tappings to be made in adjacent pipes
• The body locates centrally inside the flange bolt circle and is provided with a shallow spiral machined finish for maximum sealing performance with the gaskets
• Stainless steel extension pieces place the test points outside the main flange diameter for ease of access. Self-sealing test points have a sealed screwed cap for added security which is retained by plastic straps to avoid accidental loss. The cap straps are colored red (upstream) and blue (downstream)
• The body is marked with a directional flow arrow and also marked +(upstream) and - (downstream) to ensure the red and blue test points are assembled correctly
• The metering station may be close coupled to the upstream flange of a globe type regulating valve but when used with butterfly valves, a length of straight pipe at least equal to 1.5 x diameter must be placed between the valve and the metering station
