AWWA C714 : 2024

This standard describes cold-water meters used for residential fire sprinkler applications that meet the requirements of NFPA 13D in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes, in sizes 3/4 in. (20 mm) through 2 in. (50 mm), and the materials and workmanship employed in their fabrication. Meter types addressed in this standard for the purpose stated in Sec. 1.2 are positive displacement-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C700 or C710, turbine-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C701, multijet-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C708, singlejet-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C712, fluidic-oscillator-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C713, and electromagnetic- and ultrasonic-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C715. This standard can be referenced in specifications for purchasing and receiving cold-water meters for residential fire sprinkler applications that meet the requirements of NFPA 13D in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes, in sizes 3/4 in. (20 mm) through 2 in. (50 mm). It can be used as a guide for manufacturing cold-water meters for these applications. The stipulations of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to cold-water meters for residential fire sprinkler applications meeting the requirements of NFPA 13D. This standard does not apply to meters that are used on lines that supply only a fire sprinkler system.
