Mechanical Multi-jet Water Meter LXS
The lowest-cost way to meter a household — multi-jet accuracy, no power supply, and six housing options to match the budget.
Product overview
The LXS family is Chenshuo’s rotary (multi-jet) mechanical water meter for residential and light commercial service. Water drives an impeller inside a measuring chamber, and the movement drives a sealed counter — no battery, no electronics, no communications to maintain. It is the standard answer when a project needs thousands of meters at the lowest unit cost.
Six housing and dial variants cover the common installation cases: dry dial for easy reading, liquid-sealed for dirty water, plastic shell for budget programmes, stainless steel for aggressive water or hygiene requirements, and a vertical version for riser installations.
Key benefits
Practical advantages for distributors, contractors and project buyers selecting a water meter for daily metering work.
Multi-jet measuring element
A multi-jet element with a low starting flow and an easy-to-read counter
What it means for youHousehold duty covered without paying for ultrasonic — the lowest cost per connection that still registers low flow.
Corrosion-resistant movement
Built to hold its performance over a large installed base with little maintenance
What it means for youNo maintenance programme behind a large fleet — the meter keeps working without a budget line of its own.
Six housing materials
Brass, grey iron, ductile iron, engineering plastic, stainless steel or aluminium alloy, specified to the water
What it means for youMatch the body to your water quality and your budget instead of over-specifying every connection.
No power required
Purely mechanical measurement: no battery, no wiring, no communication module to replace
What it means for youNothing to power and nothing to replace — the cheapest meter to own across a ten-year service life.
Pulse output on request
Single or double dry-reed switches or Hall sensors can be added without affecting accuracy
What it means for youStart mechanical now and add remote reading later, without replacing the meter you already installed.
Optional check valve
A non-return valve can be fitted on request to prevent backflow
What it means for youOne part instead of a separate valve in the line — less to buy, less to fit, less to leak.
Stainless steel cover option
For DN15–50 cold and hot water, a stainless cover can be fitted without changing accuracy
What it means for youStands up to damp and exposed boxes without a replacement cycle for fogged or cracked covers.
Built to national standard
Complies with GB/T 778.1-5-2018 and meets JJG 162-2019 verification requirements
What it means for youPasses the standards check in a tender without a round of questions coming back.
