The Series WVT Vertical Water Meter is a series of rotary piston water meters that
display total water usage. The piston displacement technology results in accurate and
reliable operation in either horizontal or vertical mounting. Polymer and stainless steel
construction provides high durability and environmental resistance at an economical
price. The optional pulse output can be used for ow verication and totalization.
Adapter couplings are included to convert BSPP threads on the meter to NPT.

Installation Instructions
FLOW [GPM]
PRESSURE LOSS [kPa]
1. Thoroughly ush the service line upstream of the meter to remove dirt and debris.
2. Remove thread protectors.
Note: To protect meter threads, store the meter with thread protectors in place.
3. If applicable, install NPT thread adapters to WVT. Insert the threaded coupler into
the nut with the coupler threads facing the nut wings. Place the gasket on the at
surface of the coupler inside the nut. Thread nut onto water meter. Do not
overtighten.
4. Set the meter in the line. Install in a vertical or horizontal face up orientation in a
location accessible for reading, service, and inspection. Install with the window
closer to the inlet side of the owmeter. The arrow adjacent to the window should
point opposite the direction of ow. For accurate readings, ensure the meter is
installed between straight pipes on the inlet and outlet side that are a minimum
length of 3 times the nominal pipe diameter.
5. Wrap the exposed meter threads with pipe thread tape. Install meter and tighten
connections.
6. Do not over-tighten connections; tighten only as required to seal.
7. With upstream shut-off valve only: Open shut-off valve slowly to remove air from
meter and service line. Open the water source slowly to allow entrapped air to
escape. Close the water source.
8. With both upstream and downstream shut-off valves installed:
Test the installation for leaks: Close the outlet (downstream) shutoff valve.
Open the inlet (upstream) shut-off slowly until meter is full of water. Open the outlet
(downstream) valve slowly until air is out of the meter and service line. Open the
water source slowly to allow entrapped air to escape. Close the water source.
