I need to replace this KIP solenoid block. How do I know if its metering or less metering, and what does that even mean? :) IMG_20191112_140628.jpg

It means it has an adjustment screw for throttling back the output for fine tuning.

Somewhere there should be a small set screw for each output but I can't tell from the photo.

They may be on the other side.

I just replaced one on my dog wash. There should be a small metering screw either on the right or left hand side right adjacent to the in/out

You can't see the adjustments in either your image or the one I linked. They're on the opposite side of the "OUT" port, just a screw head sticking out.

Metering is to adjust the output. Some on the forum use this feature. I do not. I regulate output by the air pressure of the pump feeding the block.
