1500 Below Grade Sampling Station

MODEL 1500 BELOW GRADE SAMPLING STATION "ALL-IN-ONE"

Model # 1500

Product Description

The Model 1500 line of below grade sampling station is a meter re-setter design intended to be installed in an existing meter pit.  Simply remove an existing meter, install the Model 1500 All-In-One sampling station, then re-install your existing meter.  The Model 1500 provides a quick and easy sampling point at an existing meter location.  The sampling point is on the side of the re-setter. The main advantage of this unit is the ease of installation — no digging and very little plumbing.

The unit consists of a meter re-setter, a dual check backflow preventer, a quick connect sampling port with a protective “dirt” cover for the sampling port. The 1500 line is constructed of bronze, brass and copper.  The unit is available for every size meter up through one inch.  See the size selector below

Water samples are taken through the side-mounted quick connect fitting using a portable Sampling Rod, which is carried from site to site by the operator. The sampling rod is sold separately.

Two types of quick connections are available: the standard brass “snap-in” quick connect or the stainless-steel “screw-on” connection.  The standard brass “snap-in” connector is usually indicated by “NL” Suffix on Model Number and the screw type connection is indicated by “SVLV” Suffix on Model Number.

This unit is also available without backflow protection.  The backflow is replaced with an idler.  See picture that depicts the unit without a backflow preventer.
