3" STD FLOW METER 4-660GPM FLANGED
Product Overview
Accurate flow measurement is the backbone of any professional irrigation system; when a meter fails or provides inaccurate readings; you risk over-watering; under-watering; and potentially devastating crop loss or turf damage. During the peak of the irrigation season; unexpected system shutdowns due to faulty monitoring can lead to failed inspections and missed project deadlines. Supply chain volatility often results in long lead times for specialized 3-inch flanged components. By securing your Netafim flow meters now; you eliminate the risk of back-orders during high-demand periods and ensure your clients’ water management remains precise and uninterrupted.

Installation Notes
Installation requires standard 3-inch flange bolts and gaskets; ensuring that the meter is aligned with the direction of flow indicated on the body. To maintain maximum accuracy; it is recommended to install the meter with at least ten diameters of straight pipe upstream and five diameters downstream. Ensure all local plumbing and irrigation codes are followed; and tighten flange bolts in a star pattern to prevent stress on the meter housing or the connecting pipework.
