Materials: new smart water meter, sealing ring, pipe connectors, etc.
2. Turn off the water source
Close the main valve: Before installation, be sure to close the main water source valve in your home to prevent water flow from affecting the installation.
Drain the pipes: Open the nearest faucet and drain the pipes to ensure there is no residual water pressure in the pipes.
3. Removing the old water meter
Dismantle the old water meter: use a wrench or pipe wrench to gently unscrew the old water meter, taking care not to damage the pipe connections.
Clean the joints: Clean the pipe joints with a clean cloth or brush, making sure there are no impurities and dirt.
4. Installation of new water meter
Check the water meter: Make sure that the model and specification of the new water meter meet the requirements, and check whether there is any damage to the meter.
Wrap raw material tape: Wrap a few turns of raw material tape around the pipe interface to ensure the sealing effect.
Install the water meter: align the new water meter with the pipe connection and screw it gently. Use a wrench or pipe wrench to fix the water meter, but don't use too much force to avoid damaging the water meter.
5. Check the installation
Check the connection: Make sure the water meter is firmly connected to the pipe and there is no looseness.
Check sealing: Touch the connection with your hand to make sure there is no leakage.
6. Turn on the water source
Slowly open the main valve: slowly open the main water source valve and observe whether there is any leakage at the water meter and pipeline connection.
Check the water meter: Make sure the water meter is working properly and the pointer or display shows normal.
7. Testing and recording
Test the water meter: open the faucet and let the water run for some time to see if the meter counts normally.
Record initial reading: write down the initial reading of the water meter to check the water consumption later.
Precautions
Horizontal installation: Make sure the water meter is installed in a horizontal position to avoid tilting affecting the measurement accuracy.
Avoid vibration: the installation position should be far away from the vibration source, such as washing machine, water pump, etc., to avoid vibration affecting the normal work of the water meter.
Leaving space: Leave enough space during installation to facilitate future maintenance and inspection.
Comply with norms: Local installation norms and standards should be observed during installation to ensure safety and compliance.
