GET THE SUB-METER RUNNING

ub-metering can be a difficult proposition and

often requires painting, repairing tiles and pulling

out cupboards. But with the Quick Fit Water Meter

Adapter (QFWMA) by Bayzone, access to concealed piping in

walls or cupboards is no longer required. If you have access

to a full-way stop tap the QFWMA can be installed directly in

place of the stop tap assembly.

“If you can see the tee head of the stop tap assembly the

QFWMA can be installed. The water service does need to be

interrupted briefly but a quick freeze or shut down is a minor

inconvenience to install the QFWMA with a new stop tap

and meter assembly,” Peter McCallum Managing Director at

Bayzone says.

This fitting allows plumbers to work quickly and efficiently,

even in the tightest of situations. Both the inlet and outlet

are 360 degrees rotational so the placement of pipe work for

either direct connecting a meter or simply connecting flow

and return to a desired location is highly flexible.

The unit is designed for retrofitting in hard or unworkable

access areas, for example where a shut off valve is

under concrete or within a wall cavity or cupboard. The

QFWMA 101 & 202 is designed to make it simple, quick

and affordable to install a water meter which can be used

in houses, flats, blocks of units and commercial areas.

It also features 360 degree flexibility for shut off valves

located in tight and difficult areas. The QFWMA101 & 202 is

internationally patented.

The team at Bayzone has ensured installation of the

QFWMA is as simple as possible and their website features

a set-by-step installation process that you can follow with

ease.

Using a QFWMA means a team can go through a block

of units rapidly, by connecting a stop tap and loop you can

quickly return supply to all dwellings, then water meters

and AMR (automated meter reading) technologies can be

installed when suited.

INSTALLING A SUB-METER CAN BE A REAL HASSLE WHEN CONCEALED PIPE WORK NEEDS TO BE ACCESSED BUT

ONE PRODUCT MAKES THE PROCESS A WHOLE LOT EASIER.
