The meter enclosure cover includes a cylindrical tube attached to a cover,
which allows
the face of the meter to be exposed while maintaining the meter at a low
profile in the
meter enclosure. The cylindrical tube has a flange on one end to provide a
surface on
which a gasket can be attached. The angle at which the cylindrical tube meets
the cover
can vary to allow for proper meter viewing as well as protection from water.
The flange
on the cylindrical tube rests firmly against the circumference of the meter
base. All faces
of the meter enclosure cover which contact the meter and meter enclosure are
sealed by a
continuous gasket to protect against dirt, dust, oil and water. The meter
enclosure cover is
attached to the meter enclosure with a secure locking device. Construction of
the meter
enclosure cover can be from any appropriate material. Construction methods for
the
meter enclosure cover include (but are not limited to) cloth lay-up molding,
thermoforming, injection molding, as well as cutting and welding / riveting.
