The Arctic Hayes U-flow Water Gauge is designed for plumbers and installers needing precise water flow measurement. Its key benefit is the dual-sided, clear body for easy reading of flow rates in both litres and gallons per minute, crucial for new installations. A potential caveat is its specific flow range, which may not suit all applications. This gauge offers simple, intuitive operation and is compatible with the Arctic Hayes 998731 stem thermometer for integrated temperature testing.

The gauge measures flow rates from 4 to 22 litres per minute (L/min) or 1 to 5 gallons per minute (GPM).
The U-flow Water Gauge is specifically designed and calibrated for water. Using it with other liquids is not recommended and may lead to inaccurate readings or damage.
Turn off the water supply. Insert the gauge into the water line, ensuring it is oriented correctly for the flow direction. Reconnect plumbing securely and check for leaks once the water is turned back on.
No, the Arctic Hayes 998731 stem thermometer is a separate accessory and is not included with the U-flow Water Gauge. It must be purchased separately.
It is recommended to clean the gauge periodically, especially if you notice a reduction in clarity or suspect debris buildup, to ensure accurate readings.
The product is listed as 'One Size'. Specific dimensions would depend on the connection points required for integration into your plumbing system.
The product specifications do not detail a maximum pressure rating. It is intended for standard domestic or commercial plumbing applications where flow rate is a key parameter.
Ensure the water supply is fully turned on and that there are no major blockages upstream. Verify the gauge is installed in the correct direction of flow.
Check for air bubbles in the line, as these can affect readings. Ensure the gauge is clean and free of debris. Confirm the flow rate is within the gauge's specified range (4-22 L/min or 1-5 GPM).
Check all fittings and seals. Ensure they are tight and correctly installed. Consider using appropriate thread sealant or tape if necessary.
Clean the exterior of the clear body with a damp cloth. If internal debris is suspected, disconnect and flush the gauge.
Setup: The U-flow Water Gauge is designed to be inserted into a water line. Ensure the water supply is turned off before installation. Connect the gauge according to standard plumbing practices, noting the direction of flow indicated on the device if present. For initial use, turn the water supply on slowly and check for any leaks around the connection points.
Compatibility: This gauge is designed for use with water systems. It is compatible with the Arctic Hayes 998731 stem thermometer for combined flow and temperature readings. Ensure that the pipe size you are connecting to is appropriate for the gauge's fittings.
Care: To maintain accurate readings and prolong the life of the gauge, regular cleaning is recommended. Periodically disconnect the gauge and flush it with clean water to remove any sediment or debris. The clear body can be wiped with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic.
