• Accuracy: NTEP accuracy and repeatability as tested by a university lab, offering dependable readings across normal flow ranges.
• Certifications: Certified to ANSI/NSF 61 and ANSI/NSF 372 for material safety and lead free plumbing, ensuring suitability for potable water use.
• Remote reading ready: Compatible with CO-10 pulse counters, AMR130 and AMR modules, and DAE CC2030 gateway for cloud metering and alerts without complex IT setup.
• Flow capacity: Handles flows up to a safe maximum of 100 GPM and recommended continuous use at 50 GPM, covering most property and light industrial needs.

Who It's For

The DAE MJ-150c is aimed at landlords, utility contractors, and facilities personnel who need a sturdy, certified inline meter for outdoor pits or horizontal runs and who value remote monitoring options for tenant billing or leak alerts. Its certification profile makes it appropriate for municipal applications in states that accept NTEP certification.
