Badger Meter 225BR0005-1211 Insertion Flow Meter 2 in

Product Description

The BADGER METER 225BR0005-1211 is an insertion flow meter with a hot tap gate valve design, built for accurate liquid flow measurement in pressurized piping systems. The unit delivers 1% accuracy and supports threaded connections for straightforward installation into existing lines. It is rated for a maximum pressure of 400 psi and a maximum temperature of 221 degrees F, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial plumbing applications. Designed for 2-inch pipe, this sensor can be inserted without full system shutdown when used with the integrated hot tap valve, minimizing downtime during installation or service.

This insertion flow meter is used in commercial and industrial water distribution systems, process piping, and HVAC hydronic loops where accurate flow data is required. The hot tap gate valve feature allows technicians to insert or remove the flow sensor element under live pressure, which is a significant advantage in systems that cannot be easily taken offline. Licensed plumbers and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers of this type of equipment.

Key Features

• Insertion-style flow meter allows installation into existing 2-inch threaded piping
• Hot tap gate valve design enables live insertion and removal under system pressure
• 1% flow measurement accuracy for reliable flow data
• Rated to 400 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated to 221 degrees F maximum operating temperature
• Threaded connection for compatibility with standard threaded pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insertion flow meter for 2-inch threaded pipe installations in commercial and industrial pressurized piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified instrumentation technician familiar with pressurized piping systems. Always verify that system pressure and temperature conditions are within the rated limits of 400 psi and 221 degrees F before proceeding. When using the hot tap gate valve for live insertion, follow established hot tap procedures and confirm valve integrity before opening the line. Refer to applicable plumbing codes, including the IPC, for requirements governing flow meter installation in potable or process water systems.
