AWWA
Standard
Manufactured to comply with applicable provisions of AWWA
Standard No. C-704-92 and latest revisions for propeller-type
flowmeters.
Drop
Pipe
The M1700 Open Flowmeter is constructed of stainless
steel and incorporates bronze mounting brackets that
permit simple installation and removal.
Magnetic
Drive
As with all McCrometer propeller flowmeters, standard
features include a magnetically coupled drive.
Register
As with all McCrometer propeller flowmeters, standard
features include and instantaneous flowrate indicator
and straight reading, six-digit totalizer.
Impeller
Manufactured of high-impact plastic, capable of retaining
their shape and accuracy over the life of the meter.
Each impeller is individually calibrated at the factory
to accommodate the use of any standard McCrometer register,
and since no change gears are used, the M1700 can be
field-serviced without the need for factory recalibration.

Bearings
Factory lubricated, stainless steel bearings are used
to support the impeller shaft. The shielded bearing design
limits the entry of materials and fluids into the bearing
chamber providing maximum bearing protection.
Register
The instantaneous flowrate indicator is standard and
available in gallons per minute, Acre Feet, Acre Inches,
Cubic Meters and other units. The register is driven
by a flexible steel cable encased within a protective
vinyl liner. The register housing protects both the
register and cable drive system from moisture while
allowing clear reading of the flowrate indicator and
totalizer.
Installation
The M1700 must be mounted on a headwall, standpipe or
other suitable structure so that the propeller is located
in the center of the discharge or inlet pipe. A straight
run of full pipe the length of five(5) diameters ahead
and one(1) diameter behind the meter is the minimum
normally recommended.
