§ 15-34. Location and connection of meters.

In piping any house for gas, the gas company shall decide and designate in every case where the gas meter is to be located. The fitter shall extend the house piping line to this point and connect it to the outlet of the meter connection which will be furnished by the gas company to the fitter for each job upon application.

The joint between the house piping and the outlet to the meter connection shall be proven tight at the time the house piping is tested.

Where a gas meter is installed under the floor of any building, a door or opening at least two feet by two feet (2′ × 2′) shall be provided in the skirting of the building within four (4) feet of the gas meter.

When it is necessary to locate the meter on the outside of the building in an exposed place, a waterproof cabinet box with a door sufficiently large to permit setting and removing of the meter shall be provided.

Where one (1) or more meters are desired in a given building, the gas company may set as many meters as there are separate consumers applying for the same, connecting the meters to one (1) service pipe, providing that the house piping leading to such different consumers are extended to and connected with their respective meter connection outlets, and are run according to the requirements of this article.
