City Water Pressure / Flow Test Kit

Key Features

• 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

Includes

• 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
