Nomad
A calibrated venturi flow meter designed to accurately test the GPM flow and pressure produced from 2-1/2" pressure reducing valves in standpipe systems.
- 0-400 Pressure Range
- USE & OPERATION
- Testing from floor to floor is made easy with this lightweight, accurate device.
- Onsite valve performance or malfunction is immediately apparent.
- Field adjustable valves can be correctly set "IN PLACE" to meet system demands.
- Testing by dispersing the water flow down a drain riser or through fire hoses are options afforded with the NOMAD®.
- Testing the valves will also indicate the adequacy of the water supply, including the fire pump.
