Underground Round Single Meter Water Meter Box XS51Y: A Complete Guide

The Underground Round Single Meter Water Meter Box XS51Y is engineered for precision measurement and long-term durability in harsh environments. This guide explores its structural advantages, compliance with international standards, and how it outperforms conventional solutions in water distribution networks.

Technical Specifications & Structural Advantages

Designed for single-meter applications, the XS51Y features a 600mm diameter round chamber with 300mm height, providing optimal space for meter reading and maintenance. Its composite construction combines:

• Fiberglass-reinforced polymer (FRP) walls with 8mm thickness
• Stainless steel (304 grade) locking mechanism
• Rubber-sealed lid preventing water infiltration

Key Performance Metrics

Installation Best Practices

Proper installation ensures 15+ years of service life. Follow these critical steps:

1. Excavate to 500mm below frost line (region-dependent)
2. Compact 150mm gravel base for drainage
3. Align box with meter inlet/outlet pipes (±2° tolerance)
4. Backfill with sand in 100mm layers

Common Installation Mistakes

Avoid these frequent errors that compromise performance:

• Using angular backfill materials that damage casing
• Improper lid elevation causing trip hazards
• Neglecting anti-buoyancy anchors in high-water-table areas
