ABSTRACT:
An electric meter has reduced torque needed during relative rotation of a cover and base during a predetermined portion of rotation between initial and locked positions to thereby facilitate securing of the cover and base together at a predetermined seating torque. The torque reduction is preferably provided by a plurality of base ridges connected to the base mating surface adjacent respective clip receiving slots, and a plurality of cover projections connected to the cover mating surface. The cover projections slidably contact adjacent base ridges on the base mating surface to thereby reduce friction during the portion of rotation between the initial and locked positions. A gasket is preferably positioned between the base mating surface and the cover mating surface.
