Steps in sizing of water meter and building supply pipe 1) Know the a jlable water pressure at the water meter or other source of supply. 2) Get the difference in elevation of the highest water supply outlet in the building from the water meter, 3.) Multiply the difference in elevation to 9.79 kPa per meter of difference. (PRESSURE RANGE)(80 % reduced pressure) Note: 4) Select the “Length Column” which is equal or longer than the required length, 5.) Using the FU unit, select the required water meter and supply pipe size.
