Description

Water Meter Idler Tube
Spacer Tube
For 2" Threaded end Water Meter
This Idler tube can be used for two major purposes, New Construction or meter replacement. It is the same thread size and lay length as a water meter.
New Construction:
Used to properly space meter couplings or valves when the water meter is not yet available.
Light weight PVC is easier to use for initial plumbing in of meter couplings than a heavy brass water meter
Can be used to plumb for a future water meter to be installed at a later date while allowing water flow and the place for the meter.
Meter Replacement
A meter idler tube can be used to supply water temporarily if a meter is removed for repair or testing
Can be used for flat rate billing when plumbing is done in anticipation of a future utility or submetering water meter being installed.
Note: May not fit in setters that have a support ear on the swivel nut. See photos
