UtilityPal's Polymer Piston Water Meter - 20mm
 
The 20mm Polymer Piston Water Meter is a high-accuracy volumetric meter designed for the measurement of cold potable water in residential, commercial, and municipal applications where higher flow capacity is required.
 
Manufactured from UV-stabilised, glass-reinforced polymer, the meter offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term measurement accuracy. It is fitted with an internal strainer, spring-loaded non-return valve, and a sealed wet-dial counter with a clear straight-reading display registering in cubic metres (m³).
 
The meter is pulse-ready, making it suitable for AMR / AMI systems and smart water metering platforms.
