DescriptionThe Hot Tap Digital Flowmeter™ enables installation under pressure without isolating or depressurizing the pipe. It uses dual valves for probe insertion and a built-in muffler to collect drilling chips. The unit provides a digital display of instantaneous compressed air flow to help identify leaks and inefficient equipment. No cutting, welding, adjustment or calibration is required. Non-stock item; ships in 3–5 days. Consult factory for NEMA 4 models.
