ABSTRACT:
A meter installation system has a hollow support arm with a first end and a second end and a central vertical portion there between. A retention device has a vertical slit defining a first edge and a second edge. A coupling bar lies adjacent to the first edge. A swivel is secured in line with the hollow coupling bar and has a flexible strap coupled between the swivel and the second edge to enable the diameter of the cylindrical retention device to vary. A crank adjacent to the first end of the support arm allows the user to supply rotational energy. A series of beveled gears transmit rotational energy from the crank through the hollow support arm and to the swivel to facilitate changing the retention device between the open position and the closed position.
