ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a method and a means of changing gas meters without interrupting gas service. The present invention is a gas meter quick change meter bar that includes a supply pipe connected to a mount bar that attaches for support to the gas meter, a transfer valve assembly, and a temporary supply valve assembly. The transfer valve assembly is permanently mounted to the mount bar and contains a transfer valve that normally permits gas flow from the meter into a user's building. The transfer valve can be moved to a position that shuts off flow from the meter, and opens to a supply from a temporary supply tank. The transfer valve is moved by rotating a handle in the temporary supply valve assembly.
