Hi,
I'm just applying to Transco to have my gas meter moved onto an external wall. I want to use a 'cavity' meter box, which means that I have to install it myself before Transco come along to do the meter work.
My question is about the 'rules' ragarding the positioning of the meter box. Transco's guidance notes say that the box '*should* be located so that the base is 500mm to 1000mm abo0ve the finished ground level. I'm a bit short of space, so it would be about 330mm above a concrete path.
How rigid is this '500mm to 1000mm' requirement? I actually propose to replace the concrete path, so if push comes to shove I could remove the path and that would give me the 500mm needed to meet the Transco guidelines.
Do I need to do this, or is the 500mm flexible?
Thanks,
Mike
