The installation of water meter couplings is a relatively professional operation, which requires certain steps and precautions to be followed. The following are the general steps for installing water meter joints:
1. Close the valve: During the installation process, make sure that the valve on the pipe is in a closed state to prevent water from spraying out and causing unnecessary trouble and waste.
2. Choose a suitable location: According to the survey results, choose a suitable installation location. The water meter should be installed in an indoor, dry and ventilated place to avoid the influence of the external environment on the accuracy of the water meter. At the same time, the water meter should be installed horizontally, and the counter reading surface of the water meter should face the side that is easy to observe.
3. Install the joint: First, install the water meter couplings at both ends and ensure that the coaxiality of the interface with the pipe is intact. If the pipe diameter is large, a flange connection may be required; if the diameter is small, a threaded connection can be used.
4. Fix the water meter: Place the water meter between the installed water meter couplings and tighten it gently with a pipe clamp. However, it should be noted that the tightening force should be moderate to avoid damage to the water meter or pipe due to excessive force.
5. Sealing treatment: After the installation is completed, seal all interface parts. Use professional sealing tape or sealant to wrap along the interface to provide multiple protections for the water meter couplings and prevent water leakage.
