Arctic Hayes U-Flow Water Gauge
The Arctic Hayes U-Flow Water Gauge provides a quick and simple way to measure water flow rates during plumbing installation, servicing and testing. Its clear body makes readings easy to see while water passes through the gauge.
The U-Flow features opposing measurement scales for both metric and imperial readings. It measures water flow from 4 to 22 litres per minute or 1 to 5 gallons per minute. This dual-scale design makes the gauge practical for a wide range of plumbing applications.
Arctic Hayes manufactures the U-Flow with a robust, heat-resistant construction for regular trade use. It also works with the Arctic Hayes AH02 Stem Thermometer, allowing installers to check water temperature alongside flow rate.

What Does a U-Flow Water Gauge Do?
A water flow gauge provides a simple method of checking how much water passes through an outlet over a set period.
Place the U-Flow beneath the water outlet and run the water into the clear body. The scale allows the user to read the approximate flow rate directly in litres or gallons per minute.
Checking flow rate can provide useful information when preparing, commissioning or assessing a plumbing installation.
The Arctic Hayes design requires no batteries or electronic controls. This makes it a convenient testing tool to keep in a plumber’s everyday kit.
Measure in Litres or Gallons Per Minute
The Arctic Hayes U-Flow features measurement scales on opposing sides of its body.
One scale provides metric readings, while the other provides imperial readings. This allows the same tool to measure:
- 4–22 litres per minute
- 1–5 gallons per minute
The clear body also allows the user to monitor the water while taking a reading.
Flow and Temperature Testing
The U-Flow Water Gauge is compatible with the Arctic Hayes AH02 Stem Thermometer. This combination allows an engineer to check both water flow and temperature during testing.
The AH02 thermometer is available separately.
Arctic Hayes also combines a U-Flow gauge, stem thermometer and water pressure gauge within its three-piece Water Pressure Test Kit.
Ideal Applications
The Arctic Hayes U-Flow Water Gauge is suitable for:
- Plumbing installations
