Abstract
A water metering device includes a housing defining a chamber having an inlet, connectable to a source of pressurized water, and at least one outlet; and a stem in the chamber having an inner end fixed to the housing wall, and an outer end spaced from the outlet for receiving one end of a feed tube to be sealingly passed through the outlet; the stem being formed with a metering passageway for conducting water entering the housing via the inlet opening into and through the feed tube, when received thereon, to a location externally of the housing.
Claims18
A water metering device, comprising:
- a housing having first and second walls defining a chamber between them, an inlet opening in said first wall connectable to a source of pressurized water for inletting water into said chamber, and at least one outlet opening in said second wall;
- and a stem in said chamber having an inner end fixed to said first housing wall, and an outer end spaced from said outlet opening in said second housing wall for receiving one end of a feed tube to be sealingly passed through said outlet opening in said second housing wall;
- said stem being formed with a passageway for conducting water entering the housing via said inlet opening into and through the feed tube, when received thereon, to a location externally of the housing;
- said housing including:
- a first part integrally formed with said first housing wall having said inlet opening therethrough, and with said stem fixed to said first housing wall;
- and a second part, removably attached to said first part and formed with said second housing wall having said at least one outlet opening therethrough.
The device according to 1, wherein said second housing wall includes a plurality of outlet openings, and said first housing wall includes a plurality of said stems each aligned with one of said outlet openings, and each adapted to receive one end of a feed tube to be sealedly passed through the aligned outlet opening.
A water metering device, comprising:

- a stem in said chamber having an inner end fixed to said first housing wall, and an outer end spaced from said outlet opening in said second housing wall, and an axially-extending recess on its outer face;
- and a feed tube sealingly passed through said outlet opening in said second housing wall and partially covering said axially-extending recess to define therewith a metering passageway for conducting water entering the housing via said inlet opening to a location externally of the housing.
The device according to 10, wherein said second housing wall includes a plurality of outlet openings, and said first housing wall includes a plurality of said stems each aligned with one of said outlet openings, and each adapted to receive one end of a feed tube to be sealedly passed through the aligned outlet opening.
