The Dwyer LFMC-07-A2 is a Series LFM polycarbonate variable area flowmeter that measures water flow from 0.25 to 2.5 GPM (1 to 10 LPM) on a 5 in. (127 mm) dual-scale, direct-reading body with 1/2 in. in-line male NPT connections and an optional 90° elbow fitting panel mount.
The LFMC-07-A2 pairs an injection molded polycarbonate body with a 316 SS rod and float, an ABS float stop and standard 1/2 in. male NPT fittings in ABS, weighing 4 oz (113.4 g). The LFMC body also accepts 90° elbow fittings for panel mounting. An adjustable set point indicator option is offered for this body size. Series LFM flowmeters are for indoor use only or areas without direct sunlight, because polycarbonate is adversely affected by ultraviolet light.

Warranty
DwyerOmega limited warranty: free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for one year from delivery to the buyer, or such other period as specified in a product-specific warranty supplied with the product.
Key Features
Dual GPM and LPM Scale
The 5 in. (127 mm) scale reads 0.25 to 2.5 GPM and 1 to 10 LPM directly, with a textured background behind the scale for easier reading.
Polycarbonate Body, 316 SS Float
Heat and chemically resistant injection molded polycarbonate body with a 316 SS rod and float, fluoroelastomer O-rings and an ABS flange nut.
In-Line or Panel Mount
Standard 1/2 in. male NPT connections install in-line. For panel mounting, A-576 90° elbow fittings (PVC) are available.
Adjustable Set Point Indicator Option
An adjustable set point indicator option is offered for the LFMC body size, giving a quick visual reference that reduces flow reading errors.
Removable Body for Cleaning
The body removes quickly with all fittings left intact. Clean with mild soap and a bottle brush; no other routine maintenance is required.
NIST Calibration Certificate Option
Order code NISTCAL-FL2 adds an NIST traceable calibration certificate for variable water flowmeters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the flow range of the Dwyer LFMC-07-A2?
The LFMC-07-A2 measures 0.25 to 2.5 GPM (1 to 10 LPM) of water on a 5 in. (127 mm) dual GPM and LPM scale.
What process connection does the LFMC-07-A2 have?
The LFMC-07-A2 has 1/2 in. male NPT connections on both ends. Optional fittings: A-562 20 mm metric union fittings (ABS); A-568 3/4 in. male NPT fittings (ABS); A-576 1/2 in. male NPT with 90° elbow fittings (PVC).
How accurate is the LFMC-07-A2?
Accuracy is ±5% full scale.
What is the pressure limit of the LFMC-07-A2?
The pressure limit is 87 psi (6 bar) at 68°F (20°C). The 90° elbow fittings are rated 116 psi (8 bar) at 68°F (20°C). The limit varies with temperature. Ball valves and solenoid valves can create a water cannon effect on opening that exceeds the rated limits and damages the flowmeter.
Can the LFMC-07-A2 be panel mounted?
Yes. Panel mounting uses the A-576 1/2 in. male NPT with 90° elbow fittings, made of PVC.
Is a set point indicator available for the LFMC-07-A2?
Yes. An adjustable set point indicator option is offered for the LFMC body size for visual set point indication.
Can the LFMC-07-A2 be installed outdoors?
No. Series LFM flowmeters are for indoor use only or areas without direct sunlight, because polycarbonate is adversely affected by ultraviolet light.
How should the LFMC-07-A2 be installed?
Install it in an exact vertical plane aligned with the existing plumbing, with wall or structural supports at the top and bottom so the flowmeter does not carry the weight of the pipes. Hand-tighten the flange nut connection rings and use plumbers tape, not pipe dope, which can craze and crack the housing.
Is NIST traceable calibration available for the LFMC-07-A2?
Yes. Order code NISTCAL-FL2 adds an NIST traceable calibration certificate for variable water flowmeters.
What are the wetted materials of the LFMC-07-A2?
Polycarbonate body, ABS flange nut, ABS float stop, 316 SS rod and float, fluoroelastomer O-rings, and ABS standard fittings.
