Neutralizing the pain points in natural gas meter installations
Integrating natural gas safety breakaways in the system can eliminate catastrophic meter damage that can result in lost service and fires or explosions
The natural gas meter may be the textbook example of something that is said to be “hidden in plain sight.” Every structure – from house to hospital and grocery store to commercial warehouse – that uses natural gas as the feedstock for its furnaces, stoves or water heaters has at least one of the (usually) gray boxes bolted to its exterior.
These natural gas meters serve a critical purpose: they monitor the flow of natural gas into the facility and its rate of consumption. The natural gas is supplied by a gas utility company, with the amount consumed over a particular billing period, usually a month, recorded by the meter and then converted into a bill that the consumer must pay in order to keep receiving the natural gas service.
