6" STD FLOW METER 45-1375GPM FLANGED

Product Overview

Accurate flow monitoring is the backbone of any professional irrigation system; when a meter fails or provides inaccurate readings, the consequences range from massive water waste and crop loss to severe code violations. With the peak growing season fast approaching, the demand for reliable monitoring equipment is surging, leading to potential supply shortages and extended lead times that can stall your critical installs. Securing your inventory now prevents the frustration of system shutdowns during the summer heat and ensures your projects remain on schedule. Planning ahead with the Netafim IRT series keeps your crews moving and your clients protected from the high costs of unrecognized leaks or over-irrigation.

The Netafim 6 inch standard flow meter offers a significant technical advantage over lower grade alternatives by utilizing a field-proven propeller design that maintains accuracy even in harsh water conditions. This industrial grade unit is engineered to reduce labor costs by providing a long service life with minimal maintenance requirements compared to cheaper mechanical meters. By choosing a flanged connection model, you ensure a robust and leak-free installation that stands up to the vibration and pressure surges of high volume systems. Maintaining a stock of these meters gives your business a competitive edge by providing immediate solutions for large scale agricultural or municipal projects without waiting on back-ordered components.

• Flanged connection design provides a secure and stable union that simplifies replacement in existing high-pressure manifolds.
• Continuous flow measurement capability helps professionals identify system inefficiencies and potential leaks before they cause property damage.
• Factory calibrated components ensure out-of-the-box reliability and compliance with strict local water district reporting requirements.

Common Applications

• Commercial landscape irrigation
• Agricultural and crop irrigation
• Sports turf and golf course maintenance
• Municipal parks and public spaces
• Greenhouse and nursery operations
• Potable water supply systems

Installation Notes

To ensure maximum accuracy, install the meter with at least ten pipe diameters of straight run upstream and five pipe diameters downstream to stabilize flow turbulence. Professionals should verify that all flange gaskets are properly aligned and hardware is torqued to manufacturer specifications to prevent leaks at high pressure. Always comply with local plumbing codes regarding the use of backflow preventers and air release valves in conjunction with mechanical flow meters. Periodic inspection of the propeller assembly is recommended in systems drawing from surface water or open canals to clear any debris that may impact the impellers rotation.
