ᐅ Separate water meter for the outdoor tap connection

Hello everyone,

We can install a separate meter for our outdoor water tap to save wastewater.
The meter costs me €16.50, but I still need the fittings to connect it to the tap. On the other end, I need to be able to attach a shut-off piece where I can connect my garden hose. What kind of adapters do I need?

The water meter is from Hornbach, item 7335625. Can someone tell me which fittings I need for this?

Get two brass threaded fittings with the appropriate internal thread diameter.
Screw one fitting onto the water tap and the other onto the meter. This way, you can quickly remove the meter in autumn and store it frost-free, then reinstall it just as quickly in spring.

By the way, I would have preferred a meter with a cover.

Hello

I do not agree that the utility provider accepts a non-rigid and unsealed connection of the living room.

Why not? It’s just a single external tap meter, so that wastewater charges don’t have to be applied for it. Anyone who doesn’t use it would be pretty foolish...

Water supply and disposal providers have the most interesting regulations. You have to look them up.

I can confirm... you have to rent the sealed meter, pay the plumber, cover all the costs upfront, and then apply for an exemption. I roughly calculated it once—it’s not worth it. The municipality said the same. This is usually done by companies like landscaping firms.
