The connection process explained

Meter location


When connecting to natural gas, only certain locations and positions are permitted for the installation of your natural gas meter and meter box. For instance, when we connect a building to the natural gas network the proposed service line route must be in a straight line to the meter location, have at least 600mm of ground cover and be clear when the crew arrives to carry out the work.
