Badger Meter 226SS0005-1211 Insertion Flow Meter 2 in

Product Description

The BADGER METER 226SS0005-1211 is a stainless steel hot tap sensor ball valve designed for use as an insertion flow meter in liquid flow measurement applications. Rated to a maximum pressure of 400 psi and a maximum temperature of 221 degrees F, this valve allows technicians to install or remove a flow sensor under live line pressure without shutting down the system. The threaded connection and 2-inch size suit a wide range of industrial and commercial piping configurations. Flow measurement accuracy is rated at 1 percent, making it suitable for process monitoring and utility metering where reliable data is required.

This insertion flow meter is used in commercial and industrial piping systems where hot tap access is required. The design allows a sensor to be inserted into a pressurized line through the ball valve body, eliminating the need for system shutdown during sensor installation or service. Typical applications include chilled water systems, heating loops, and process fluid lines. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and instrumentation technicians are the primary installers. The 2-inch threaded connection fits standard pipe configurations common in mechanical rooms and process facilities.

Key Features

• Hot tap design allows sensor insertion and removal under live system pressure
• Maximum operating pressure of 400 psi for high-pressure system compatibility
• Maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F for hot water and process fluid service
• Flow measurement accuracy rated at 1 percent
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• 2-inch threaded connection for standard pipe fitment

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or instrumentation technician familiar with pressurized piping systems. Before beginning work, verify that system pressure and temperature are within the rated limits of 400 psi and 221 degrees F. Hot tap procedures require proper saddle fittings or couplings and correct alignment of the insertion sensor to the flow direction indicated on the valve body. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for pressure piping and all local mechanical codes governing flow meter installations.
