Using an outdoor meter box indoors
Indoor use: Only if a building is next to a footpath (no garden, etc) the meter may be located inside the property. This is subject to a low pressure gas connection being available. When the meter is located, inside it should be located as close as possible to the gas entry point of the building. It must not be placed:
- In close proximity to a heat source or where it may be subject to extremes of temperatures.
- Where food is stored/ in bathrooms
- Where it might be affected by a corrosive atmosphere/liquid
- Where readily combustible material is stored
- In a void/compartment without normal air circulation
Outdoor use: The meter should be placed at the front gable end wall, at a maximum of 2 metres from the front corner of the building. It can also be placed at the front wall of the building – on either side of the front door, or on either side of a sealed window. Finally, it’s possible to have an outdoor meter on the boundary wall of the property.
