Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate 1250A Glass Tube Water Flowmeter
About this part
1250AD6073WGSVV is a configured Brooks Instrument Sho-Rate 1250A low-flow glass tube variable-area flowmeter. Official Brooks 1250/1255 documentation identifies the family as precision low-flow glass tube meters for liquids and gases, with configurable tube, float, scale, connection, end-block, valve, and seal options. The configured direct-reading tube code D6073 is listed in official Brooks 1250 water tables with a stainless-steel 1/4 inch float and 0.2 to 5 GPH water range; exact end-block, valve, seal, and scale details should still be verified from the physical unit label because no verified official exact-part Brooks build sheet is currently available
Configurations vary. Verify the exact unit before choosing a replacement.
