Description
The Mitras Connect Semi-Buried Gas Meter Box G60055 is a specialist domestic gas meter enclosure designed for semi-buried installation at ground level. Specified by Connect Utilities for new installations, its design allows the meter box to be installed against an external wall at ground level without bridging the property's damp-proof course.
The G60055 is suitable for U6 and G4 domestic gas meters, including prepayment meters, and can also accommodate some medium-pressure applications. Its semi-buried design provides a practical alternative where a conventional recessed or surface-mounted gas meter box is not suitable.
Manufactured from durable glass reinforced plastic (GRP), the enclosure is weather resistant and designed for long-term outdoor use. The GRP construction will not rot or corrode, while the meter box is also fire retardant to BS 476 Part 7 Class 2. A meter box key is included.
The Connect Semi-Buried Gas Meter Box complies with BS 8499:2017 requirements for domestic gas meter boxes and meter brackets.
