What size fitting for outside meter box fitting?

[iain85]

Connecting to the fitting in a new inground meter box, the fitting which comes out the side, is it 3/4 inch ?

I've just connected 14 of them up and they were all 22mm, not sure if they still use the brass connector straight on the side of the metre box anymore.

Last sunken meter I did it was three quarter

normally 3/4" if its the brass fitting on the side of the box. most ive seen now you just pipe into 22mm compression elbow left on the meter union.

Yeah it's 3/4 bsp on semi con meter boxes.

Use hep it's easier. Need to inset into ecv and wrap with denso - help slow gas leak

Cheers chaps, yup its the brass fitting on the right hand side. Can't use hep as I've ran out, will have to Borge it and use copper instead ; )
