Water Meters & Backflow Prevention Systems
Enhance efficiency, water quality, and security while reducing water loss with NWPX water management products. Our water meters and backflow preventers arrive pre-assembled in reinforced concrete vaults for quick and easy connection.
Pre-engineered Solutions for Accurate Water Billing and Backflow Protection
Water meter vaults and backflow prevention systems are essential components of water distribution infrastructure, supporting accurate consumption measurement and protecting potable water systems from contamination. Used across municipal, commercial, and industrial applications, these systems help manage flow, maintain pressure, and ensure water quality throughout the distribution network.
NWPX delivers factory-assembled, pre-plumbed water meter and backflow systems that integrate all internal components within a precast concrete structure. Manufactured in a controlled environment and tested prior to delivery, these systems reduce field installation time while improving reliability and performance. Automated controls, monitoring systems, and alarm capabilities can be incorporated to support system performance, detect leaks or abnormal flow conditions, and help maintain regulatory compliance.
MeterVault®
Water Meter Vaults
The NWPX MeterVault® is designed to measure and monitor water usage across residential, municipal, commercial, and industrial applications. Installed within underground water distribution systems, these vaults house metering equipment used by utilities to track consumption and support accurate billing.
Our water meter vaults are delivered as complete, pre-plumbed systems that incorporate all internal components, including a city-approved water meter, isolation valves, pipe stub-outs, and optional strainers. Systems are available with automatic meter reading capabilities to eliminate manual readings, along with two-way wireless communication for real-time monitoring, leak detection, and remote shut-off functionality.

BackFlo®
Backflow Prevention Systems
The NWPX BackFlo® system is designed to maintain unidirectional water flow and protect potable water systems from contamination caused by backflow conditions. These assemblies provide cross-connection control for municipal, residential, commercial, and industrial applications and are delivered ready to install.
Our backflow prevention systems are available in a variety of configurations to meet site-specific requirements. Systems may include single-detector check assemblies for fire-protection applications or double-check valve assemblies for enhanced system security. Integrated monitoring capabilities continuously track water flow and detect abnormal or unauthorized usage, triggering alarms to notify personnel or monitoring systems of potential issues.
Each system is delivered as a complete, factory-assembled solution incorporating city-approved, name-brand components, including check valves, detection meters, isolation valves, and pipe stub-outs within a precast vault or on a concrete skid. Systems are hydrostatically tested prior to delivery to verify performance and reliability.
