The structure and installation methods of flat water meters and vertical water meters are different, and flat water meters generally need to be installed horizontally, while vertical water meters need to be installed vertically. Therefore, the flat water meter cannot be installed directly and needs to be replaced with a special vertical water meter. During the replacement process, it is necessary to pay attention to the matching of the size of the new water meter and the pipe interface to ensure the stable installation and normal operation. If you are not sure how to replace it, it is recommended to ask a professional water meter installer to replace it.
Of course, the flat water meter cannot be used standing up
The pointer inside the water meter is set according to its installation method, the best water meter is to let him flat, the impact of the water flow is horizontal, the vertical water meter can only be used standing, the impact of the water flow on it is up and down, if used backwards, the impact of the water flow on the pointer can not guarantee the accurate measurement of the water flow, so buy the corresponding water meter according to the location of your water pipe.
