ABSTRACT:
A coupler which is fixed to a meter case (lower case) includes a sleeve which penetrates the case, and a flange which overhangs from the sleeve to a circumference thereof. An annular groove holding a seal ring is provided in the flange. A step as a mark is provided on an outer circumference of the sleeve in order that an adequate compression amount of the seal ring can be recognized from the external appearance. This step is aligned with an outer surface of the lower case when the seal ring is compressed up to the adequate compression amount. This configuration makes it possible to easily recognize, from an external appearance, whether or not a waterproof tight-sealing level of a coupler penetrating a meter case is adequate.
