The location of the water meter and water meter fittings is of vital importance. Where a water meter is positioned can depend on particular factors, such as whether or not:
- There is an adequate place to install the water meter
- The pipework is in below average or poor condition, which may deter and installation until the piping is repaired and restored according to code
- There is more than one water supply pipe to your commercial unit or residence
- The water pipes supplying water to your structure or unit cannot be accessed
- The water supply pipe serves properties in addition to yours
Options for Installation
There are two prime options when it comes to the installation of water meters and water meter fittings. They can be set up inside or outside. Water meters must be installed on the water supply pipe. This installation is usually close to the stop cock or stop tap.
