Coiled Pit Setters
The A.Y. McDonald Coil Pit Setter 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 Coil Pit Setter is designed with the meter
installed on a platform that normally sets near the bottom of the box
where the ground temperatures are warmer. The meter and platform are
connected to the service line by coils of tubing which allows the meter
and platform to be raised to the surface for service or replacement.
The body of the meter box is rigid PVC of various diameters. For
extremely cold climates, an optional insulating pad is available which
traps the relatively warm air rising from the earth, inside the meter
box.
A.Y. McDonald Coil Pit Setters are shipped fully assembled, ready for
meter and service line 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.
A.Y. McDonald Coil Pit Setters are available in singe, dual, and tandem
settings for 5/8" to 1" meters. A wide variety of end connections,
control valves, box depths, lids and other options are available. Due to
the almost endless combination of features offered, each meter box is
custom built to your specifications.
