COMBINATION MASTER VALVE AND WATER METER FLOW SENSOR
A combination water meter and hydraulic valve in a single unit saving space and installation costs. The double-chambered valve is specially designed for high-pressure operation. Addition of pilot or solenoid valves enables remote and/or automatic hydraulic commands. No straight pipe length is required upstream or downstream of the globe configuration hydrometers making them ideal for tight installations. Available in globe configuration and a large variety of sizes.
