Product Information

Full details

The Reliance Valves DZR Metering Station (128247) is a professional-grade component designed for HVAC technicians and plumbing engineers who require precise water flow measurement for system commissioning. Its primary benefit is the ability to enable highly accurate flow rate adjustments when paired with manual balancing valves, ensuring optimal hydraulic performance; however, users should note that this device requires specialized pressure-testing equipment to read and interpret its measurements correctly.

FAQs

What is the purpose of the metering station?

It is used to measure the rate of flow in a pipe so that a balancing valve can be adjusted to meet design flow requirements.

Is this suitable for drinking water systems?

While made of DZR brass, its primary design application is for HVAC system balancing and water circulation loops.

Can I install this vertically?

Yes, it can be installed in vertical or horizontal lines, provided the test points remain accessible for the pressure gauge.

What equipment do I need to read the station?

You will need a portable differential pressure meter or a commissioning computer with compatible test probes.

Does the station have a specific flow direction?

Yes, there is an arrow cast into the body of the unit indicating the required direction of flow.

Troubleshooting

Inconsistent pressure readings

Check for air pockets trapped in the pressure sensing lines or verify that the test probe is fully inserted and the seal is intact.

Test point leaking

Ensure the test point cap is tightened securely. If it continues to leak, the test point valve core may need replacement.

Flow rate calculation doesn't match design specs

Verify the differential pressure gauge is calibrated and check the system pump speed against the system design criteria.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-accuracy flow measurement for system commissioning
  • Durable DZR brass construction ensures longevity
  • Standard DN50 sizing for widespread industrial compatibility
  • Easy access for pressure differential measurements

Cons

  • Requires professional differential pressure gauges to use
  • Not suitable for non-HVAC or non-plumbing flow applications
  • Requires physical space for inline installation in existing pipework

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: The device should be installed in a straight section of pipe, ideally with the manufacturer's recommended distance of straight pipe upstream and downstream to prevent turbulence that could affect flow readings. Ensure the flow arrow on the valve body aligns with the direction of system water flow.

Compatibility: It is compatible with standard water-based HVAC systems and is designed to work with most portable hydraulic balancing computers and differential pressure manometers.

Care: The station is generally maintenance-free. Periodically inspect the test points to ensure they are free of debris and that the caps are tightened to prevent leaks. If the test points become clogged or damaged, they should be replaced with compatible spares to ensure continued accuracy.
