Description
The Mitras Semi-Buried Gas Meter Box G60039 is a discreet domestic gas meter enclosure designed to be partially buried in the ground. Its low-profile brown finish provides an unobtrusive solution for housing domestic gas meters at ground level.
The G60039 has been developed specifically for U6 and G4 metal-cased domestic gas meters. The meter sits within the well of the enclosure and can be sealed around the top edge using the compatible neoprene water-resistant seal, which is available separately.
Manufactured from durable glass reinforced plastic (GRP), the meter box is weather resistant and designed for long-term outdoor use. The GRP construction will not rot or corrode, while the enclosure is also fire retardant to BS 476 Part 7 Class 2. A meter box key is included.
The Mitras G60039 complies with BS 8499:2017 requirements for domestic gas meter boxes and meter brackets.
