The Ductile Iron Water Meter Protection Box (Model: NR-W013) by Raising is a complete, unitized solution for safeguarding water meters from damage, tampering, and harsh weather. It combines a heavy-duty ductile iron base (ASTM A48 Class 25, 25,000 PSI tensile strength) for stability and crush resistance with a plastic upper body and locking lid for easy access and corrosion protection. This hybrid design balances durability with practicality, making it suitable for outdoor installations. The box includes all necessary components: angle ball valve, expansion connection, lockable lid (with key pack), and lead-free bronze inlets/outlets (AWWA Standard C800). Designed for 1/2" (DN15) water meters, it features BSP/NPT threads and operates at 16 bar working pressure (-20°C to 120°C). Compliant with ASTM A48 Class 25, the NR-W013 is ideal for municipalities, property managers, and homeowners seeking long-lasting water meter protection.
The base is made from ductile iron (ASTM A48 Class 25) with 25,000 PSI tensile strength, resisting crushing from vehicles, pedestrians, or heavy equipment. This makes it suitable for sidewalks, driveways, or roadside installations where impact risk is high.
The plastic lid features a built-in locking mechanism (with key pack) that prevents unauthorized removal—critical for protecting water meters from vandalism, theft, or tampering with readings. The plastic material is also UV-resistant and weatherproof, ensuring it does not crack or fade in sunlight.
The box is pre-designed to automatically space and align 1/2" (DN15) water meters, eliminating the need for manual adjustments during installation. Meters can be inserted at any time (during or after box installation), saving time for plumbers and utility workers.
Inlets, outlets, and expansion connections are made from lead-free bronze, meeting AWWA Standard C800 for potable water systems. This ensures no lead leaching into water, making the box safe for residential and commercial use.
The box’s design allows for quick meter removal and replacement without wrenches. The lightweight plastic lid also lifts easily, enabling utility workers to take meter readings in seconds—reducing service time and disruption.
• Roadside & Sidewalk Installations: Used by municipalities to protect water meters in public areas (e.g., street corners, neighborhood sidewalks) from vehicle impact, foot traffic, and weather damage.
• Community Water Meters: Secures shared water meters in multi-family complexes or small communities, preventing tampering and ensuring accurate billing.
• Apartment Complexes: Installed in outdoor areas of apartment buildings to protect individual or shared water meters, reducing maintenance costs from damage or vandalism.
• Commercial Properties: Used in parking lots, gardens, or outdoor storage areas of retail stores, offices, and hotels to shield meters from harsh conditions and unauthorized access.
• Home Yards & Driveways: Ideal for homeowners who need to install water meters outdoors (e.g., for irrigation systems, detached garages) and want to protect them from lawnmowers, weather, or pests.
• Rural Properties: Suitable for rural homes where water meters are exposed to extreme weather (e.g., heavy rain, snow, high winds) and wildlife damage.
The box is specifically designed for 1/2" (DN15) water meters—the most common size for residential and light commercial use. For larger meters, check our NR-W series for compatible models.
Yes. The ductile iron components are coated with a rust-resistant finish that prevents corrosion from rain, snow, or soil moisture. This ensures the base remains strong and durable for decades.
Absolutely. The box operates from -20°C to 120°C and protects meters from freezing. The plastic lid and ductile iron base insulate the meter, preventing water inside from freezing and cracking the meter.
Yes. The complete set includes the ductile iron base, plastic upper body/lid, angle ball valve, expansion connection, lock & key pack, and lead-free bronze inlets/outlets. No additional parts are needed for installation.
