Mueller Company Mueller® Meter Box

The MUELLER THERMAL-COIL Meter Box provides a means to allow a meter to be read and maintained even though it is set deep in the ground to resist freezing. The THERMALCOIL Meter Box is designed with the meter installed on a platform that normally sets near the bottom of the box where the ground temperature keeps it warmer. The meter and platform are connected to the service line by coils of polybutylene tubing which allow the meter and platform to be raised to the surface. The body of the meter box is made from rigid PVC which has a high insulating "R" value to resist frost bridging” inside the box. For extremely cold climates, an optional insulating pad is available which traps the relatively warm air rising from the earth inside the box. MUELLER THERMAL-COIL Meter Boxes are shipped fully assembled, ready for meter installation. Their light weight saves shipping costs and makes installation a one man job in most cases. Every box is factory tested and has a 150 psig maximum working pressure rating. MUELLER THERMAL-COIL Meter Boxes are available for 5/8" to 1" meters. A wide variety of end connections, control valves, box depths, lids and other options provide you with the meter set you need.
