Abstract: A meter box assembly having a vault with a top wall, the top wall having a shelf and an opening to receive a removable lid, at least one electronic meter reading transmitter mounted in the shelf of the top wall, such that the lid may be removed from the meter box assembly to provide access to the interior of the vault without removing the at least one electronic meter reading transmitter.

Abstract: A closure assembly for attachment to a vessel having an opening ring of a vessel and a closing cover cooperating with the ring and including a large diameter base end attached to the vessel and a small diameter ring end to receive a removable cover thereover. The cover end includes a plurality of spaced inwardly protruding locking lugs having a lower surface slightly inclined and the cover includes a perimeter ring flange, having a first downwardly depending skirt spaced closely adjacent and inwardly from the ring locking lugs and a second downwardly depending skirt spaced outwardly therefrom. The first skirt has outwardly protruding locking lugs spaced downwardly from the ring flange and having a slightly inclined upper surface to wedgingly mate with respective lower surfaces of the ring locking lugs. The cover has an interior surface between the first and second skirts and a D-ring seal located between the flanges on the interior surface for contacting and being compressed by the small diameter ring end.

Abstract: A fitting sealing an intersection of a pipe passing through a wall includes an adapter assembly including an elongated threaded sleeve with an enlarged flange at one end, an adapter gasket, an O-ring and its support, and a nut threadedly joined to the sleeve to squeeze the O-ring and gasket against opposite sides of the wall. The adapter assembly fits concentrically around the pipe where it passes through the wall; and two generally hemispherical resilient covers enclose the portions of the adapter assembly on each side of the wall. Hose clamps at each end of each hemispherical cover connects the enlarged end portions to the adapter assembly and the other end portions to the pipe. One of the hemispherical covers has a pressure grease fitting thereon to allow the space between the covers and the adapter assembly to be filled with pressurized water repellent gel.
