Brass expansion connection for water meter NR-W003

Technical Standard of Brass expansion connection

Key Features:

1. Material - related Attributes

• Brass Construction: Crafted from brass, this expansion connection offers excellent corrosion - resistance. Brass is highly durable when exposed to water, which is the primary medium in water - meter systems. This property ensures a long - term, reliable performance, even in environments with hard water or slight chemical impurities. Additionally, brass has good mechanical strength, allowing it to withstand the pressure variations within the water - supply system without deforming or developing leaks over time.

2. Expansion - related Functionality

• Thermal Expansion Accommodation: One of its key functions is to accommodate thermal expansion and contraction of the water pipes and the water meter. As water temperature changes, pipes and the meter can expand or contract. The brass expansion connection provides the necessary flexibility to absorb these dimensional changes. This helps prevent stress build - up, which could otherwise lead to cracks in the pipes or damage to the water meter, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the entire water - supply system.

3. Connection - related Features

• Secure and Leak - proof Connection: It is designed to create a secure and leak - proof connection between the water meter and the pipes. The internal threading and the overall structure of the connection ensure a tight fit. This is crucial for accurate water - meter readings, as any leakage at the connection point could lead to inaccurate measurement of water consumption. The connection is also easy to install, with standard threading that is compatible with common water - meter and pipe fittings, reducing installation time and effort.

4. Structural Design Features

• Stable and Robust Structure: The unique star - like or multi - armed structure  provides enhanced stability. The additional arms or flanges distribute the mechanical stress evenly, further contributing to the overall durability of the connection. This stable structure also helps in maintaining the alignment of the water meter and the pipes, ensuring smooth water flow without any disruptions due to misalignment.

5. Compatibility

• Wide Compatibility: It is compatible with a variety of pipe materials commonly used in water - supply systems, such as copper, PVC, and PEX. This versatility makes it a suitable choice for different types of plumbing installations, whether in residential, commercial, or industrial settings. It can be easily integrated into existing water - meter systems or new installations, providing a reliable and adaptable solution for water - meter connections.
