and 12"

Specification Sheet
Description
Operation: Z-Plate Strainers are designed to protect
water meters from the effects of foreign matter and debris. he Z-Plate
design is beneficial to the hydraulics of a water line by canceling
the turbulence and providing smooth, laminar flow. Thereby reducing
the need for the installation of 8 to 10 diameters of straight pipe
ahead of the in-line meter.
Installation: The Z-Plate Strainer should be installed
upstream from the in-line meter.
Application: The placement of the Z-Plate Strainer
ahead of the in-line meter will maximize revenue and extend the
life of the measuring element. To be used only in POTABLE COLD
WATER up ot 120° F (50°C) and Working Pressure up to 150 PSI.
Working Pressure Tests are performed prior to shipment. No further
adjustments are required before installation.
Compliance to Standards: The Z-Plate Strainer Complies
with all material and design requirements of the American Water
Works Association Standards C701 and C702, as most recently revised.
