Description
The ground level box – 20mm brass water meter – SABS 20mm valve is a complete, pre-plumbed water-metering assembly designed for convenient surface or ground-level installation. The assembly combines a 20 mm DZR brass volumetric piston water meter with a durable UV-stabilised polymer meter box and an SABS-approved 20 mm 2-way polymer ball valve.
The pre-plumbed design provides a neat, protected and secure installation solution for domestic and small business water-metering applications. The 20 mm brass water meter is 165 mm long and features a sealed wet dial, internal non-return valve and pulse output. The meter is approved by the NRCS to Class C specifications in accordance with SANS 1529-1:2019.
The meter box features a UV-stabilised lockable lid, clip-on polymer base plate, tamper-resistant locking mechanism and reinforced 20 mm glass-reinforced polymer male BSP parallel inlet and outlet connections. The internal plumbing assembly is pressure tested before dispatch to help ensure the complete assembly is supplied leak-free.
