A system for monitoring the flow of water through a pipe. A metering device is located in a pipeline. A transmitting unit including a sensor is contained within a housing which has a frame projecting horizontally outwardly from the housing. A clip having an elongated band and a &ldquo;U&rdquo; shaped clasp at either end has an inner clasp portion and an outer catch portion to hold the meter against the housing.

The device is used to determine the flow rate of a medium, e.g. of a fluid or a gas, including a housing (,) with a chamber (,) through which the medium is axially flowing and which receives an impeller wheel (,) with one blade (,), whereas the impeller wheel (,) is provided with a carrier body (,) having a centrical boring (,) for receiving an axle (,), whereas the carrier body (,) is provided in the area of the axle (,) with at least one opening (,) running radially to the centrical boring in the carrier body (,), whereas the axle (,) is arranged in the carrier body (,) by at least one, preferably two radial bearings (,), whereas a radial allowance is provided between the boring of the carrier body (,) and the axle (,), whereas, due to the radial allowance between boring (,) in the carrier body (,) and axle (,), water is entering at the open side of the boring (,) and is exiting through the radially running opening (,) in the carrier body (,).

An apparatus for monitoring the flow of fluid in the pipeline has a hollow housing with a control element movably supported therein. The control element is movable under the action of the fluid flow, from an initial position to a position triggering a switching operation and is biased towards its initial position by a biasing system. A support ring is fixedly coupled to an inner wall of the hollow housing and has a central opening therein. The control element is composed of a connecting element which extends through the wall of the pipeline and through the central opening in the housing, which connecting element has a first end coupled to a magnet and a second end connected to a flow deflecting body. The connecting element is pivotably mounted to the support ring about an axle extending therethrough. A flow diverter or a seal assembly is utilized for preventing fluid flow from the pipeline from going around the connecting element and through the central opening into the housing interior.
