MSS - Spectrum Single-Jet Meter Sizes 5/8` – 1`
The Spectrum Single-Jet Meter is the widest range, single measuring element meter available to U.S. utilities. The Spectrum residential meters are designed for extremely wide range and long-term accuracy. The single-jet technology is highly impervious to dirt, sand or grit in the water system. The combination of design simplicity, superior grade materials, and high quality manufacturing standards allows for years of virtually new meter performance with no maintenance.
The Spectrum residential meters are available in composite (reinforced plastic) and lead-free bronze models across all common residential sizes.
Coupled with the advanced innov8 registers, the Spectrum single-jets are the meter of choice for your revenue assurance and water loss programs.
Incoming water rotates a suspended impeller that is magnetically linked to the register. A low friction tungsten carbide bearing supports the impeller at low flow rates while a tungsten carbide thrust bearing provides the support at high flow rates. This unique “dual bearing” design provides unparalleled accuracy and durability at both high and low flows.
To maintain accuracy, the meter must be installed horizontally (±10°) in the direction of water flow.
All Spectrum Model D meters utilize innov8 registers. These sealed electronic registers provide a high resolution interface to the meter and have multiple cellular, AMR, AMI and SCADA outputs. All registers are attached with a robust tamper-resistant housing.
