4. Run a soft water faucet wide open
Watch the meter disc.
Is it turning?
Watch the no back pawl.
As the meter disc turns clockwise, the no back pawl
should drop into the next tooth, preventing the
meter disc from turning backwards. Does it?
Measure the metering rate.
Wait for the no back pawl to drop into a tooth. Place
a bucket under the faucet to catch the water. Let
the meter disc turn for another tooth or two, then
measure the water captured in the bucket. The
approximate metering rate for all models is shown
below.
