Gerand suggests using Venturis on all units at least 2-1/2" and larger for ultimate accuracy and lowest possible head loss. Orifices may also be used though the permanent head loss, with orifices is substantially increased from that of Venturis.
On 1/2" through 2" lines we recommend using Balvalve-Venturis furnished as a one-piece Venturi/valve with a memory lock on the handle.
A portable 0-50" or 0-100" differential meter shall be used for balancing flow in all units. Meter should be furnished as part of the system.
