What Is A Housing Box?

Gas meter housing boxes are designed to protect gas meters and associated pipework from damage, weather exposure and unauthorised access. All our housing boxes are either metal, plastic or glass-reinforced plastic.

Choosing the Right Gas Meter Housing Box

Whether you’re working on a new-build installation, upgrading an existing supply or replacing a damaged enclosure, choosing the right gas meter housing box is an important early decision.

In general, gas meter housing boxes fall into three main installation types: surface-mounted (wall-mounted) meter boxes, recessed or built-in meter boxes and semi-concealed meter boxes. The correct choice will depend on property layout, access requirements, meter size and local installation conditions. Final selection and positioning should always be agreed by the installer.

A Wide Selection Of Gas Meter Housing Boxes & Assemblies

As trade specialists, BES will help you find the correct meter box for your domestic or industrial meter. We have a wide range of housing boxes on offer, including:

Gas Meter Housing Boxes

Looking for a secure and weather-resistant way to house a gas meter? Our selection of gas meter housing boxes includes wall-mounted, built-in, semi-concealed and free-standing housings suitable for domestic and commercial installations. Options are available for standard residential meters as well as larger commercial and industrial gas meters, selected primarily by enclosure size and installation type. Our main housings are suitable for the following meter sizes: U16 (medium pressure), U16, U25, U65, U40 (medium pressure) and U65, U100 & U10 sizes.

Meter Box Assemblies

If you’re working with an LPG system, a meter box assembly provides a complete, ready-to-install solution, including for caravan and semi-concealed applications. These assemblies are supplied ready for installation and may include pressure-specific configurations and mounting components where required. Choose from Medium Pressure LPG Caravan Meter Box Assembly, Low Pressure LPG Caravan Meter Box Assembly, Semi-Concealed LPG Meter Box Assembly and LPG Meter Box Assembly.

Meter Box Doors

We offer a number of replacement gas meter box doors suitable for standard domestic meter housings that provide a straightforward solution when an existing door is damaged or missing. Available options include Gas Meter Housing Replacement Door - H 545 x W 381mm and Gas Meter Housing Replacement Door - H 381 x W 341mm.

Meter Box Keys

Need access to a locked gas meter housing? Meter box keys are used to open standard domestic gas meter boxes, making them an essential spare for installers, landlords and maintenance teams. Both plastic and metal replacement keys are available to suit standard meter box locks.

Meter Box Protector Frames

Meter box protector frames and anti-vandal housings are great at providing additional protection for gas meters installed in exposed or high-risk locations, helping to reduce the risk of impact damage or unauthorised access. Popular choices include the Anti Vandal Gas Meter Box Housing and the Anti Vandal Gas Meter Box Housing Transco Gas Type E.

Meter Box Lids

If the lid on a recessed or semi-concealed meter box has been damaged or weathered over time, a replacement meter box lid will allow you to refresh the enclosure without removing the full housing.

Meter Box Spigots

Working with a built-in or recessed gas meter box? Our meter box spigot is used to guide pipework safely through the enclosure and into the supply, helping to keep installations neat and protected.

Mounting Stakes

Mounting stakes are used with LPG meter box assemblies to secure the enclosure in ground-mounted installations, particularly for caravan or standalone LPG setups. An appreciated option at BES is the Mounting Stake for LPG Meter Box Assembly mounting stake.

Gas Meters

A limited selection of replacement gas meters is available for specific applications. These are typically sourced for replacement or maintenance work rather than new installations. View our Replacement G4S Diaphragm Meter here.

Installation & Regulatory Considerations

Gas meter housing boxes must be positioned to allow:

  • Safe access for inspection, maintenance and meter reading

  • Adequate ventilation

  • Protection from impact and environmental damage

Gas meter installation, relocation and alteration are not DIY tasks. All work must be carried out by suitably qualified professionals in accordance with current regulations, gas network requirements and manufacturer instructions. If there is any uncertainty around suitability or positioning, professional assessment is strongly recommended.
