The New PLATON Fire Sprinkler Flowmeter has been awarded approval from the Loss Prevention Certification Board. The new design allows connection to LPCB approved Victaulic® fittings giving lower installation costs. Uniquely, the metering section can be serviced without isolating the installation from the supply. This direct-reading flowmeter is ideal for use in automatic sprinkler installations, water spray or deluge systems. Both the traditional Flange Wafer and Victaulic groove designs are approved for regular monitoring and testing of such systems by the LPCB, Loss Prevention Certification Board, under their ‘Rules for Automatic Sprinkler Installations’ in the UK and by equivalent international organisations.
