When they invented PVC pipe, some time after they made that code, why? About 5 years back, my house had rusty steel pipes. One broke so I whole house, re-plumbed with the right type PVC (1 more letter), copper was too expensive. Hardware told me then about metal above the meter...<br /><br />I called the water dept. informed them I was removing the meter, re-plumbing. They said "thats ok, meter inspection, when done," Meter inspector, said the metal\copper pipe to the ceiling was law. He didn't know why, he was mainly concerned if the meter was installed the right way. My meter was and still is analog, with a wired box outside. Some other type smart meter I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
