Are meters required to be readily accessible?

Yes, for safety and accuracy
No, they can be hidden
Only in residential settings
They can be installed anywhere

The correct answer is: Yes, for safety and accuracy

Meters must be readily accessible for both safety and accuracy reasons. Accessibility is crucial to ensure that gas fitters, technicians, and emergency responders can quickly reach the meter for inspection, maintenance, or to shut off the gas supply in an emergency. A meter that is difficult to access can lead to delays in addressing gas leaks or other safety hazards, increasing the risk of accidents. Additionally, accurate readings of gas usage are essential for billing and monitoring system performance. If a meter is hidden or installed in an inaccessible location, it may lead to difficulty in obtaining accurate measurements or performing necessary checks, compromising both safety and efficient service delivery. Therefore, regulations typically mandate that gas meters be installed in locations that are easily reachable.
