When a flow meter fails or provides erratic readings, your clients face immediate risks from over-watering or under-fertigation, which can ruin a season of work in days. With peak demand placing immense pressure on irrigation infrastructure, sourcing a reliable replacement is critical to avoid project delays or failed inspections. Planning ahead for these critical components ensures that your installs remain operational during the summer heat when supply shortages often leave other contractors waiting on long lead times. Securing your inventory now provides the relief of knowing your projects will stay on schedule and your clients will stay satisfied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Netafim USA 8 inch Standard Flow Meter offers a significant technical advantage over lower grade alternatives by utilizing a robust propeller design that handles high flow volumes with consistent precision. This meter is engineered to reduce labor costs by minimizing the need for recalibration and frequent maintenance calls. By installing a professional grade component that outperforms generic options in harsh conditions, you provide a long term solution that saves water and protects expensive pump stations. Maintaining a stock of these flanged units gives your business a competitive edge, allowing you to respond faster than the competition while ensuring every drop of water is accounted for in your professional systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEpoxy Coated Cast Iron Body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 Inch Nominal Diameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38 to 2475 Gallons Per Minute\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Flanged Ends\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 230 PSI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO 4064 Class B Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMeter Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePropeller with Magnetic Drive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\/Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Visibility Blue Epoxy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Models \u0026amp; Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Netafim propeller meter series is available in several configurations ranging from 2 inch to 12 inch diameters to meet varying system requirements.

Your crews should use standard flange gaskets and high strength bolts, tightening them in a cross pattern to prevent uneven pressure on the meter body. Ensure the flow direction arrow on the casting aligns with the system flow and consult local codes regarding the use of strainers to protect the propeller from large debris. Regular inspection of the register seal is recommended to maintain long term performance in humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Netafim USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52122485195041,"sku":"70261-010600","price":2159.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/8458\/3969\/files\/70261-010220_PR.png?v=1765748710","url":"https:\/\/asiwsupply.com\/products\/8-std-flow-meter-38-2475gpm-flanged","provider":"ASIW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
