ABSTRACT:
A rectangular shape lid for closing a rectangular shaped top opening of a water meter housing. The lid is formed of plastic material and has a seating surface on its lower side for engaging the upper edge of the housing for support purposes. This feature allows the lid to fit housings having different size openings. Lower supporting ridges are formed on the lower side of the lid in such a manner that they allow the lid to fit housings having different radius of curvature at the corners. Hooks are provided on opposite ends of the lid for securing the lid to the housing.
Also provided is a housing formed of plastic material. The housing has an upper edge formed by inner and outer ridges which define the top opening. The inner and outer ridges are joined together at a position below the upper edge and extend away from each other in an upward direction. Connecting ribs extend between the inner and outer ridges to form a strong upper edge for supporting a lid.
