  • Patent number: 6718644
    Abstract: A system for aligning a hub/mast with a soffit penetration point uses an insert that is similar in shape to a terminal adapter that is threadably received within a hub of a meter base. An opening within the insert receives a laser such that when the insert is received within the terminal adapter, the laser beam emitted by the laser, corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the terminal adapter, illuminates the proper penetration point on the soffit of a building from which an electrical conduit holding an electrical conductor should extend.
