You could bleed the line from a sink faucet or such before taking the flowmeter out. I have to change out a few myself here in the future and these were older models and I gave your video a watch. Thanks for the upload!
Hey man, I just regained access to this account and just re-read all of the comments that I made 8 years ago. Sucks that RU-vid removed the private messaging feature but I'm commenting because I owe you a sincere apology. I was a complete and utter dickhead as a kid and you did not deserve any of that. Not from me, and not from anyone else. Reading my comments made me sick and I hope that you can forgive me for that. I'm glad to see you're still here and making videos. 3.15k subscribers is a big accomplishment and I wish you the best of luck for anything you decide to do in the future.
I have a badger meter Hr lcd. It doesn’t have the water toggle thingy that spins around when there’s a leak. My problem is that when I turn on the water on The meter stays the same.. how can I fix this?
I'm sorry, you don't know what you are doing, You should NOT be showing others how to do things you can't do right. You don't tighten everything 'as tight as you can'! Not elastomer seals. ---And, you put it back in backwards....................
No you're not sorry.. you just want to feel better about your profession cutting people down to hope more people dont learn off RU-vid so you make more money.
@@ArcadeMachine15 It's too bad you feel that way, Many of those covers are cast iron, and cast iron doesn't like 'as tight as you can'. Also, those flange nuts are brass (or bronze?) and can split from excessive torque. I know this... And you did put the meter in BACKWARDS!; it will not work that way AFAIK. -It will be running the dials 'backwards', and I don't think those models will work that way. I don't think the bottom cover has any compression stops (shoulders); or if the flange nuts bottom on metal or if they would continue to compress the gaskets to the point of destruction. This I don't know, but I don't think they should be 'tightened as tight as you can' either... Just IMHO Incidentally, I am an electronics technician, HVAC, and general automotive and heavy Diesel mechanic. General maintenance. I an NOT a plumber, is not my profession, and I an NOT defending them or my 'profits'! I take offense at your insinuations. I came here because the shop has a frozen out their meter, and I wanted to see what is involved in the internals. Mr K L
Professionals may be displeased because it takes away business showing people how to do things on their own, poor demonstration or not I've helped tons of people and the ratings show there's more pleased.. I never claimed to be a professional for a reason, plumbing isn't my job I didn't go to school it, but yet I still show and tell all aspects of the job well enough for anyone to follow so I'd expect people to find that impressive. All I try to do here is help people so stop hating and go find something productive to do
