Updated a few like that and always run the 28mm the same way as its running now no need to notch the box

Usually a single bolt in bottom centre of the cover, when undone it pulls forward and lifts up exposing the meter and wall bracket. Makes it easier to work on the pipe work if you ever need too. They have a notched fitting around the pipe that's integral to the box design. They usually have a couple of cable ties holding the door on where the hinges used to be.

All very interesting. But not answering the OPs question.

@ShaunCorbs answered them straight away mate.

Depends on the meter box if there's a pre knock out and manufacturers allow it then yes

How will you take the box off if there is a pipe through it

I was going to cut it to the back and then make up a plate to cover the slot

28 won't do it in this case. Well not by my calculations. Trouble is the property is an extended bungalow with the meter at one end, one boiler at the other end and another boiler and a cooker in the middle
I could have sworn we had a problem given to us in college where we were shown that we could make it work by increasing the pipe size further down the run but I've since been told that you have to come off the meter in the largest size pipe that you're going to use. I'm not sure there's enough room to jump it up to 35 and get it round the corner, hence wanting to come out the side.

you can get 35mm elbows

 

[Gasmk1]

you will get 35 mm from the inside of the box done it with that as well, just think about it

True I was just trying to keep costs as low as possible as the customer is family
