3/4" Water Meter (standard) The standard 3/4" water meter has a lay length of 9" from then ends of the threaded spuds. It has a 3/4" measuring chamber capacity. The threads are 3/4" AWWA meter threads, the same size as for a 5/8" x 3/4" meter. These use 3/4" meter couplings and gaskets.

ing to federal regulations, all kitchen and bathroom faucets should have a maximum flow rate of 2.2 gallons per minute (gpm) at 60 psi (pounds per square inch) of pressure; in California and Georgia, maximum flow rates are further restricted to 2.0 gpm (California will eventually be restricted to 1.8 gpm).

The meter read equals the gallons (or cubic feet) used while the flow rate equals the number of gallons (or cubic feet) per minute flowing through the water meter.

A 3/4" meter will feed four bathrooms. A 3/4" water service will feed a one bathroom home. If you're supplying more than one bathroom, you will want the equivalent of 1" copper or poly pipe. For a two and three bath home, a 1" copper or poly service.

Determining the Size of your Water Meter It is unusual to find anything larger than a 1.5 inch meter on a single-family home. The most common sizes are 5/8" and 3/4". The size of the water meter is typically printed on the face of the meter. Sometimes the size is stamped into the case.

The meter read equals the gallons (or cubic feet) used while the flow rate equals the number of gallons (or cubic feet) per minute flowing through the water meter.

Continuous flow through a 5/8 inch meter is ~10 GPM. A 3/4 will give you ~15 GPM. A 1 inch will give you ~25 GPM. Your water utility may not be willing to give you a 1 inch meter, but a 3/4 may be beneficial in allowing bigger irrigation zones and a bit more buffer to prevent oversized irrigation zones.

This meter produces a pulse for every 1/10 cubic foot (approx. 0.75 gallon, or 2.83 liters) that flows though the meter, these pulses can be then picked up and counted by our pulse counting devices.

Residential meters usually are sized for 3/4" (or slightly smaller) and are connected to a 1" service line. The smaller size meter is acceptable because the residential water flow seldom exceeds 25 gpm (the nominal flow for the meter).
