GAS METER SETTING OR THE LIKE

摘要

A fluid meter setting or installation for gas meters or the like, the setting permitting the fluid supply line to be connected to a service line of a dwelling or the like while rigidly supporting the meter against torsion. The setting includes a simplified sheet metal bracket capable of being attached to a wall or post, the bracket permitting the use of conventional elbows and straight meter swivel members for properly orienting or supporting the meter. The bracket which is made from identical parts may be assembled at the point of manufacture or may be shipped to the user in nested arrangement of the parts and then assembled at the site, thus, reducing manufacturing and shipping costs. The setting and the bracket are so designed as to eliminate all possibility of gas theft.
