MULTI-JET METER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The installation instructions detailed below are consistent with recommendations by the American Water
Works Association in AWWA Manual M6, Water Meters-Selection, Installation, Testing, and Maintenance.
WE RECOMMEND IN THE DESIGN OF THE INSTALLATION:
1. The installation should include a high quality, low pressure loss shutoff valve upstream
of the meter to prevent water damage to the customer property when service is required,
a downstream shutoff valve is likewise recommended.
2. The meter should be installed in a horizontal plane, with the register upright, in a
location accessible for reading, service and inspection.
3. The installation should be leak-tight, with properly sized gaskets. When meter
connections are ordered from Master Meter, gaskets are provided. Appropriate gaskets
and couplings also are available from a qualified waterworks distributor. Whenever a
meter is pulled from the line, discard and replace the old gaskets.
4. Although AWWA opposes the grounding of electrical systems to potable water delivery
lines, such practices do exist. To prevent accidental harm to service personnel, make
certain that an electrical grounding strap is installed around the meter.
