Gicar 1/4" Standard Flowmeter
This is a genuine Gicar volumetric flowmeter with 1/4" female BSP fittings and a 1.15mm NSF-approved flow orifice, used across dozens of commercial espresso platforms to trigger volumetric dosing. Some flowmeters use 1/8" fittings instead, so confirm your port size before ordering.

INSTALLATION
DIY-friendly for anyone comfortable with basic plumbing and a couple of screws, though matching polarity and orifice size correctly matters.
PRO TIPS
- Double-check the orifice size (1.15mm here) and fitting size (1/4" vs 1/8") against your old flowmeter before installing — a mismatched orifice will throw off your machine's dose calibration.
