Default Cheap Water Meter at BES



I'm looking for a cheap water meter and after some searches have found a
couple at http://www.bes.co.uk

11356 USF, 1/2" cold water meter @ £17.77
11357 USF, 3/4" cold water meter @ £21.56

However, I'm unsure about the pipe connections. All the other meters
that BES sell seem to have standard pipe connections ( BSP)

Does the USF above indicate a non-standard connection, and more
importantly if it does are the required connector easily and cheaply
obtainable - and where from? A search of the BES site for 'USF' only
brings up the page for the meters.

If you are implying that USF stands for USFiliters then I'm not totally
convinced as the two hot water flow meters in same section on the BES
page have

USC, 1/2"
USC, 3/4"

Hi,

A Google on USF water meter leads to:

http://www.plumbase.co.uk/products_Type.asp?Menu_Item=Tubes+%26+Fittings&CT_ Type=Water+Meters+-+Secondary

and a Google on Altechnic leads to:

http://www.altecnic.co.uk/index.asp

and:

http://www.altecnic.co.uk/products2.asp?prod=82&table=3
http://www.altecnic.co.uk/products2.asp?prod=85&table=3
http://www.altecnic.co.uk/Technical/Water%20Meters.pdf

so it looks like it also refers to whether it's for hot or cold water.

cheers,
Pete.
