Abstract
A meter boundary box comprises an outer casing which is upstanding from a base, the outer casing containing a tubular housing with a lid thereon, the lid engaging the housing so that rotation of the lid effects rotation of the housing but arranged so that the lid can be lifted away from the housing, the housing containing a meter which is threadably engaged in a valve member, the valve member itself threadably engaging a manifold which incorporates the inlet and outlet conduits, the arrangement being such that by rotation of the lid, firstly the valve member can be closed and secondly the meter can be unscrewed from the valve member for easy removal.
