R24 Semi-concealed gas meter box

R24 for Semi Concealed Gas Boxes

Floor mounted (aka semi-concealed or semi-buried or ground meter box) gas meter boxes are particularly susceptible to damage as they can be stepped on or have things dropped on them. The sharp edges of a broken GRP box at ground level are also a notable hazard.

As with the rest of our range, fitting the R24s is very easy. An R24 lid fits the meter box in the same way as the original plastic lid and the lid and frame units fasten through the plastic box with a screw and nut. All the necessary fittings are supplied with the units.

Previously Ritherdon only manufactured and supplied replacement lids for this type of gas meter box. However, we now have three options for repairing them:

  1. Replacement lids – the R24M and R24H lids for repairing Mitras boxes and Hepworth boxes respectively.
  2. Replacement lid and frame units – if the damage to the body is too great simply to replace the lid.
  3. Replacement lid and body units for pre-payment meter boxes. (R24M Tall)
