Abstract (en)
A block for a water meter and stopvalve chamber system 1 comprising an inlet pipe coupling 26 and an outlet pipe coupling 28 communicating via a tortuous flow path through the block 20, a meter mount 44 and a stopvalve seat 42, wherein at least one of the inlet pipe coupling 26 and the outlet pipe coupling 28 is rotatable about an axis which is inclined to the axis of the pipe coupling itself such that, in use, an external pipe, when orientated at any one of a variety of angles to the block 20, may be readily connected to the rotatable pipe coupling. A block according to the invention enables a water meter and stopvalve chamber system to be installed far more quickly and efficiently than has been possible with prior art blocks and associated systems.
