Gas meter box entry

[glenntaf]

Hi all

I need to upgrade the gas supply to a boiler. Currently the gas enters the property through the rear of the meter box (built in the wall type). Upgrading the pipe taking the existing route will be almost impossible without causing a lot of disruption for the customer. So I am thinking of running the pipe externally along the wall and into the kitchen. The only problem is the meter doesn't have a knock out in the bottom for a pipe to go through. Does this mean I will need to get the meter box changed, or am I allowed to drill a hole and sleeve and seal it??

cheers
Glenn
