Required Applications and Tools
- Measurement Tool
- Single Scale Pressure Gauge with Plastic Case, 1/4 NPT Male Bottom Connection, 2" Dial
- John Guest Female Adapter NPTF - 3/8 x 1/4 NPTF
- John Guest Union Tee Polypro - ⅜
- John Guest Shut-Off Valve-Polypro Straight - 3/8 Tube x 3/8 Tube
- PTFE Teflon® Thread Seal Tape - 0.4 Density 1/2" x 260'
- 3/8 Tube to connect each of the components
- 1L Volumetric Bottle
- Timer (maybe on cellphone)
Task 1: Assemble flow and measurement tools
- Purchase the items linked to above
- Assemble the items according to the diagram below:
Task 2: Measure Pressure and Flow from the waterline at time of installation
Pressure
- Install the waterline with a valve attached.
- Close the valve, allow any water in the line to exit.
- Attach the waterline to tee fitting on the above assembly.
- Close the shutoff valve shown above.
- Open the Wall water inlet valve to measure the pressure in the pressure gauge.
- This is the Wall pressure
Flow
- Have a bucket with capacity of 1 liter (or clear mark at 1 liter)
- Have a stop-watch ready
- Open the valve and start the timer together
- Stop the timer when water reaches 1 L mark (and then close the valve)
- Record this time
- Use below formula as is to calculate flow rate
- Flow rate (LPM) = (1/time in sec) X 60
- Compare Pressure and Flow rate to the to the requirements above to ensure proper operation.
