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, thougatching 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.
