Abstract

A water meter has a glass window (30) having an aperture (32) through which extends one or more screw threaded terminals (20) enabling electrical connection to be made to an internal electronic encoder. A resilient grommet (34) is positioned in the aperture (32) and is held in compression between inner and outer sealing plates (36, 38). These are drawn together by the terminals which carry nuts.
