Accessories

Elster AMCO Water offers utilities a choice of accessories for its meters. 

Vertical Z-plate design strainers are recommended to protect Elster T3000 and C3000 cold-water meters from the damaging effects of debris and foreign material. The strainer improves the velocity profile of the water being metered and minimizes the effects of velocity distortion caused by upstream valves and fittings.

Strainers are for use in potable cold water up to 120° F and working pressure up to 150 psi and should be installed immediately upstream from the meter.

 Fabricated spool pieces with or without a test outlet are available in many lengths to serve as spacers when exact laying lengths are needed, as downstream test outlets for turbine and compound meters and for downstream flushing. Spool pieces simplify replacement of old compound and turbine meters.

Spool pieces can be equipped with or without a test outlet. The outlet provides increased test flow flexibility compared to the usual single test outlet. Test outlets are tapped 1 ½'' in a 3'' spool and 2'' in 4'' to 12'' spools. Test plugs are bronze with square heads.
