Meter Raiser
This unit is designed to make meter
reading easier and more convenient
especially in areas with a high water table.
These units are simply screwed into the
meter manifold in place of the meter
and the meter is then screwed into the
other end, effectively lifting the meter by
350mm within the chamber.
Filter Housings
These units link the manifold and the
meter and provide a housing for a filter.
When fitted with a suitable filter these
units filter the water supply before it
reaches the meter and consumer. Filter
housings are available in 350mm or
200mm version.
Top Hat and Surface Box
For ease of installation EBCO can supply
top hats and plastic surface boxes
combined as a ready assembled unit.
