WS 1.5" Mtr Asy, Plas. MxM 180" (15 FT)

This WS 1.5-inch plastic meter assembly reports treated-water flow to a demand-initiated control valve. Nelsen Corp part CL-15-EM-PL-180 is a 1.5-inch male-by-male (MxM) plastic-body flow meter with a 180-inch (15-foot) cable, built for C-Series commercial control valves.

• Meter size: 1.5" line
• Connection: male x male (MxM)
• Body: plastic (corrosion-resistant)
• Cable length: 180" / 15 feet
• For: C-Series commercial control valves

A flow meter is what makes metered, demand-initiated regeneration possible: it counts the gallons actually used so the valve regenerates based on real consumption rather than a fixed timer, which saves salt and water over the life of the system. The plastic body resists corrosion in continuous treated-water service, and the extended 15-foot cable reaches control heads mounted well away from the meter body on a large skid. Install it in the correct flow orientation on a 1.5-inch line, keeping the required straight pipe run ahead of it, then route the cable back to the valve's meter input. A direct replacement for a failed or inaccurate meter, or a useful spare for commercial C-Series softener and filter systems that cannot afford downtime.

Metering the water your softener treats

This 1.5-inch plastic meter assembly with 15 feet of cable is the flow-sensing component that tells a demand-initiated control valve how much water your home has used. Accurate metering is what lets a modern softener regenerate on actual demand instead of a fixed timer, cutting salt and water waste while ensuring the resin is renewed before it is exhausted.

When to replace it

A meter that has failed or fouled shows up as a softener that regenerates too often, not often enough, or not at all despite normal water use. Swapping the meter assembly restores accurate demand control. The 15-foot cable gives flexibility in mounting the valve away from the meter body; confirm your valve accepts the 1.5-inch plastic MXM configuration, and we will help verify fitment if you are unsure.

Installation flexibility

The generous 15-foot cable lets you position the meter body inline where it reads cleanly while mounting the control valve wherever the plumbing is most convenient. Route and secure the cable away from sources of electrical noise for the most reliable readings, and keep the meter accessible so it can be inspected if regeneration behavior ever changes.
