*Full installation guidelines are supplied with the Meter Box*

To fit a recessed gas meter box to the wall, follow these steps:

1. Build the box into the wall in the position specified, ensuring it does not bridge the damp–proof course.

2. The base and sides of the box should be fully bedded into the mortar to hold it into the wall, with the sides of the architrave touching the outer leaf of the brickwork. 

3. A 0.1mm thick polythene sheet or similar, at least 700mm wide, should be fitted as a damp-proof course above and behind the box. Alternatively, a suitable cavity tray may be used.

4. Where a spigot is fitted, build the inner wall around it, filling any space between the spigot and the wall with mortar. (The spigot will be cut flush with the inner finish of the wall by the pipework installer.)
