Badger Meter 226BR0005-1211 Insertion Flow Meter 2 in

Product Description

The BADGER METER 226BR0005-1211 is a hot tap insertion flow meter with a Ryton sensor body, designed for measuring flow in pressurized piping systems without requiring a full line shutdown during installation. It uses a threaded connection and is rated for line pressures up to 400 psi and fluid temperatures up to 221 degrees F. The sensor delivers flow measurement accuracy of 1 percent, making it suitable for process monitoring, water distribution, and industrial fluid management applications. Licensed flow instrumentation technicians and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of device.

This insertion-style meter is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping systems where a 2-inch line size is present. The hot tap design allows installation into a live, pressurized system, reducing downtime during commissioning or meter replacement. It is commonly used in water utilities, building mechanical systems, and process piping where continuous flow data is required. The threaded connection simplifies integration into existing pipe assemblies without specialized flanged fittings.

Key Features

• Hot tap design allows installation into live pressurized lines without shutting down flow
• Ryton sensor body provides chemical and thermal resistance suited for demanding fluid environments
• 1 percent accuracy for reliable flow measurement and process monitoring
• Rated to 400 psi maximum operating pressure
• Rated to 221 degrees F maximum fluid temperature
• Threaded connection for straightforward integration into 2-inch pipe assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style insertion flow meter for 2-inch threaded piping systems operating within the rated pressure and temperature limits of this sensor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or instrumentation technician familiar with hot tap procedures on pressurized systems. Verify that system pressure does not exceed 400 psi and fluid temperature does not exceed 221 degrees F before proceeding. Follow all applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC guidelines, when penetrating and tapping pressurized lines. Confirm thread type and engagement depth before fully seating the sensor to ensure a leak-free connection.
