Leviton WMC75-BU1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Leviton WMC75-BU1 water meter fit a 3/4 inch service line?
The WMC75-BU1 is a 3/4 in by 5/8 in bronze meter, so it's the classic 5/8 x 3/4 residential/light commercial size: a 5/8 inch measuring chamber body with 3/4 inch connections. It ships with couplings, so the tailpieces you need to tie into 3/4 inch service piping come with the meter rather than being a separate order.
2) Is the WMC75-BU1 meter approved for potable drinking water?
Yes. The meter is NSF/ANSI Standard 61 certified, which is the drinking water system components standard, and it meets AWWA C-708 for multi-jet cold water meters. Those two together are what most municipalities and water authorities ask for before they'll accept a meter on a potable service.
3) Can I read the Leviton WMC75-BU1 meter remotely instead of walking the property?
Both ways. The meter has a six wheel odometer style direct read register you can read by eye at the pit or the wall, and electronic output registers are available for AMR interface if you want the reads pulled remotely. For a property manager metering individual units, that means you can start with manual reads and move to AMR later without changing the meter body.
4) What units does the WMC75-BU1 register read in, gallons or cubic feet?
Register units are available in US gallons, cubic feet, or cubic meters. That's a choice you make when specifying, and it matters: if you're submetering apartments and rebilling against a city bill quoted in cubic feet, ordering a gallons register means converting every read by hand.
5) Will this bronze water meter survive being installed in an unheated space?
The WMC75-BU1 has built-in freeze protection, and patented frost protection is offered as an option on top of that. For a garage, crawlspace, or outdoor pit in a freezing climate, ask for the frost protection option rather than relying on the standard build alone.
6) Do I need a separate strainer ahead of this water meter?
Not for basic debris protection. A durable basket strainer is built into the meter to protect the measuring element from grit and scale coming off older service piping. On a retrofit into an aging building where you're seeing heavy sediment, a line strainer upstream is still worth having, but the meter isn't sold bare.
7) How does the WMC75-BU1 handle someone tampering with the meter to lower a bill?
Tamper detection and prevention is part of the meter. For submetered multi-family and any situation where the tenant has physical access to the meter set, that's the feature that decides whether your reads hold up when a bill gets disputed.
8) What is the correct part number to order for the Leviton 3/4 inch bronze submeter?
Leviton WMC75-BU1. That's the manufacturer part number for the 3/4 in by 5/8 in bronze water meter supplied with couplings. If you're standardizing a portfolio of units, that single number covers the meter and its coupling set.
