Gauges / Water Pressure Test Kit
Chemical management made simpler, neater, cleaner and safer - Lafferty. In addition to supplying spare parts for all Lafferty equipment, Lafferty offers many convenient accessories to complement its wide range of chemical application equipment.
City Water Pressure / Flow Test Kit
- Connects to a standard male garden hose fitting
- Quickly confirms available water pressure and flow rate
- Use to determine equipment needed for existing setup or a new facility
- Can be mounted in-line with installed equipment to read operational water pressure
- Useful for selecting metering tips based on the available pressure
- Troubleshoot existing setup; see if and when the water pressure fluctuates
- Includes three flow restrictors for testing to see if enough water volume and pressure are available
- Includes a blank (undrilled) plug the user can modify to simulate other flow rates
Instructions
- Select the flow restrictor most similar to the flow rate of the unit being installed
- Thread the flow restrictor into the discharge side of the gauge assembly
- Install the gauge on the water line as close to the unit installation point as possible
- Read the gauge only when water is flowing.
- This is the "dynamic" water pressure, which is specified in unit requirements and used for metering tip selection
- Reading the gauge without water flowing will display the "static" water pressure, which is not a useful measurement for metering tip selection
- A flow restrictor is not required for installation in-line before the actual equipment
- Unscrew the flow restrictor plug adapter from the discharge side of the gauge assembly to reveal male garden hose threads
