Well after the bashfest about the dwyer flow meter i got, I found a nice upgrade.. Let me know what you guys think of it. here is the ebay link. the auction is over so no need to be scared about being poached. and yes i know it needs a flowtube. im working on getting a 1/2inch one right now.

jaydee · 05-08-2005, 06:09 PM

Note I belive that is the same unit as the Rosemount 8712. Parts should be interchangable.

MaxxxRacer · 05-08-2005, 06:30 PM

yep it is. its the rosemount 8712C. the same company makes rosemount and Brooks... odd.. the flowtube im gunning for is a 1/2inch model for the rosemount.

so what do u think of this thing jaydee?

Bill?? Well u were right when u said i would find somethign if i was patient!

bigben2k · 05-08-2005, 06:31 PM

I'm googling, and I get the same thing.

I would have picked up the tube first; you may not need the transmitter. Either way, it's a nice find, with a decent price.

MaxxxRacer · 05-08-2005, 07:25 PM

nah it needs the transmitter.. i checked all this out.. read about 50 pages of PDF before purchasing. all of the fllowtubes that work with this have no displays or anything.

I hope it is good as I am attempting to acquire the same unit with a 1/2" flow tube myself.

Bill can't post here anymore BTW. Swiftech finally told him not to anymore.

El]v[0IsEv1L · 05-08-2005, 09:08 PM

Swiftech told him not to post?

Then I guess I will no longer buy Swiftech blocks.

MaxxxRacer · 05-08-2005, 09:29 PM

wow i didnt know that. i wonder why they told him not to. it is a big loss to the site..

jaydee which one are you refering to? whats the model number?

if your going for the same one.. all i have to say is its.. WAR!! lol.. i want it !! i need it!! I have the transmitter and I need that flowtube to start my reviews.

I am the only bidder as of know. The Flow tube is "ROSEMOUNT MAG FLOWTUBE MODEL 8711" and the transmitter is "ROSEMOUNT MAG FLOW TRANSMITTER SMART FAMILY 8712C". If your looking at the same auction then hope you have deep pockets because my max bid is $$$.

jaydee · 05-08-2005, 10:10 PM

Oh yeah, thread on Bill A's departure: http://forums.procooling.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=11577 Read into it what you will but it tells me Swiftech told him to not post here anymore. Could be wrong though.

MaxxxRacer · 05-08-2005, 10:32 PM

Arg Jaydee! War is on!! I already got my meter so all i need is the flowtube.

Around $300.

MaxxxRacer · 05-10-2005, 09:11 PM

egats man.... some seriously deep pockets...

jaydee · 05-10-2005, 09:23 PM

The flow tube and the transmitter combined new is around $2,100. Figure it is a worthy deal.

MaxxxRacer · 05-10-2005, 11:31 PM

actually the 8705 flowtube is 2200 from rosemount and the 8711 (the one on ebay) is 1700 this is 1/2inch, teflon liner, etc.

the reason i know is i talked to the rosemount rep on the phone today about it. i just about carped my pants when he told me. right before he told me the price he said "are you sitting down?"

Yeah not cheap. I found the combo I am bidding on for $2,100 new elsewhere.

jaydee · 05-12-2005, 04:51 PM

Auctions are getting ugly. Think I may get outbid on both of them...

MaxxxRacer · 05-12-2005, 08:29 PM

sorry jaydee.. all's fair in love and war. no hard feelings.

jaydee · 05-12-2005, 08:29 PM

MaxxxRacer · 05-12-2005, 09:33 PM
