INTRODUCTION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Positive Displacement Water Meters utilize a magnetically driven, positive dis-
placement, oscillating piston design. It is designed to measure clean potable water where flow is in one direction only in
residential, commercial and industrial settings.
OPERATION: Water flows through the meter's strainer and into the measuring chamber where it drives the piston. The
hydro dynamically balanced piston oscillates around a control roller, guided by a division plate. A drive magnet transmits the
motion of the piston to a driven magnet located within the hermetically sealed register. The magnet is connected to a gear
train which translates the piston oscillations into volume totalization displayed on the register dial face.
CONSTRUCTION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Positive Displacement Water Meters consist of three basic components: main
case, measuring chamber and a sealed register. The main cases are constructed using C89833 Brass Alloy. Measuring
Chambers are constructed of a durable synthetic polymer. Bottom plates (for meter sizes 5/8" thru 1'� are available in
Bronze,Cast Iron or synthetic polymer. Registers are available as either direct read or electronic output.
MAINTENANCE: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Positive Displacement Water Meters are engineered and manufactured to provide
long-term service and operate virtually maintenance free. The precise simple design allows for part interchangeability which
reduces parts inventory. The register housing may be removed without affecting water pressure or removal of the main
case.
REGISTRATION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Positive Displacement Water Meters utilize a magnetically driven, hermetically
sealed design. The sealed design eliminates dirt, moisture infiltration, and prevents fogging. The register includes a large
odometer-type totalization display, center sweep hand (3600) test circle and low flow leak detection. All ZENNER
PERFORMANCE Meters have electronic output capabilities for easy conversion to Automated Meter Reading. 5/8"through 1"
capacities are: 10,000,000 Gallons, 1,000,000 Cubic Feet, 100,000 Cubic Meters, 6 odometer wheels. 1 1/2" and 2"
registration capacities are: 100,000,000 Gallons, 10,000,000 Cubic Feet, 1,000,000 Cubic Meters, 6 odometer wheels.
CONFORMANCE: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Positive Displacement Water Meters are tested and comply with AWWA C700
and ISO 4064 performance standards.
TAMPERPROOF FEATURES: Customer removal of the register to obtain free water is prevented through the use of a lock-
ing device that requires a special tool, only available to water utilities.
CONNECTIONS: Tailpiece/Unions for installations of meters are available as an option for various pipe types, sizes and
misaligned pipes. The main case for sizes 5/8"through 1"includes built-in wrench pads.
DISCLOSURE: Displacement meters are not recommended for use with fire suppression systems. (See AWWA Standard
C700)

Bronze Turbine Meters
Sizes 1-1/2", 2", 3", 4", 6", and 8"
INTRODUCTION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Bronze Turbine Meters are designed for applications where flows
are usually moderate to high and occasionally low. They are to be used in measurement of potable cold water
in commercial and industrial services where flows are in one direction.
OPERATION: Water flows through the turbine section which causes the rotor to turn proportionately to the
quantity of water flowing through the meter. A drive magnet transmits the motion of the rotor to a driven mag-
net located within the hermetically sealed register. The magnet is connected to a gear train which translates
the rotations into volume totalization displayed on the register dial face. The only moving parts in the water are
the rotor assembly and vertical shaft .
CONSTRUCTION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Bronze Turbine Meters consist of three basic components: bronze
main case, measuring element, and a sealed register. The main case is made of bronze with round flanges, ex-
cept for the 1-1/2"and 2"meters which have oval flanges. The measuring element assembly includes the rotor
assembly, vertical shaft and a calibration vane which eliminates the need for calibration change gears. The 1-
1/2"bronze turbine meter has a built-in stainless steel strainer.
MAINTENANCE: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Bronze Turbine Meters are engineered and manufactured to provide
long-term service and operate virtually maintenance free. If maintenance is necessary, the universal measuring
element (UME) can be removed from the main case. Interchangeability of certain parts between like sized me-
ters minimizes spare parts inventory.
CONFORMANCE: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Bronze Turbine Meters are tested and comply with AWWA C701
Class II performance standards.
STRAINERS: ZENNER PERFORMANCE recommends the use of a separate strainer upstream from the turbine
meter. Strainers reduce the chance of damage to the rotor as well as the frequency in which it must be re-
moved for inspection. The lack of a strainer may void the warranty of the turbine meter. Note that the 1-1/2"
bronze turbine meter has a built-in strainer
CONNECTIONS: Companion flanges for installation of meters on various pipe types and sizes are available in
bronze or cast iron.

INTRODUCTION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Multi-jet Water Meters utilize a magnetically driven multi-jet design.
They are designed to measure cold potable water where flow is in one direction only in residential, commercial,
and industrial settings.
OPERATION: Water flows through the meter's strainer and into the measuring chamber where it drives the
impeller. A drive magnet transmits the motion of the impeller to a driven magnet located within the hermeti-
cally sealed register. Powerful rare earth magnets eliminate slipping and uncoupling to increase overall accu-
racy. The magnet is connected to a gear train which translates the impeller's rotation into volume totalization
displayed on the register dial face.
CONSTRUCTION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Multi-jet Water Meters consist of three basic components: main
case, measuring chamber and sealed register. The main cases are constructed using either C89833 or C89850
Brass Alloys. Measuring Chambers are constructed of a durable synthetic polymer. Registers are available as
either direct read or electronic output.
MAINTENANCE: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Multi-jet Water Meters are engineered and manufactured to provide
long-term service and operate virtually maintenance free. The precise simple design allows for interchangeable
parts, reducing parts inventory.
REGISTRATION: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Multi-jet Water Meters utilize a magnetically driven, hermetically
sealed design. The sealed design eliminates dirt, moisture infiltration, and prevents fogging. The register in-
cludes a large odometer-type totalization display, center sweep hand (3600) test circle, low flow leak detector.
All ZENNER PERFORMANCE Meters have electronic output capabilities for easy conversion to Automated Meter
Reading. 5/8" through 1" capacities are: 10,000,000 Gallons, 1,000,000 Cubic Feet, 100,000 Cubic Meters, 6
odometer wheels. 1 1/2" and 2" registration capacities are: 100,000,000 Gallons, 10,000,000 Cubic Feet,
1,000,000 Cubic Meters, 6 odometer wheels.
CONFORMANCE: ZENNER PERFORMANCE Multi-jet Water Meters are tested and comply with AWWA C708,
ISO 4064, and G131T19001-IS09000 performance standards.
TAMPERPROOF FEATURES: Customer removal of the register to obtain free water is prevented through the
use of a locking device that requires a special tool, only available to water utilities.
CONNECIONS: These meters have been designed with ease of installation in mind through the use of wrench
pads. Tailpiece/Unions for installations of meters are available as an option for various pipe types, sizes, and
misaligned pipes.
