Meter Idler
Use as temporary meter bypass when meter is out for service
A water meter idler (also called Spacer Tube, Meter Spacer or jumper) is used during installation of a water meter to ensure and maintain proper alignment and spacing between water meter fittings of the water meter. Following installation, the water meter idler (or jumper) also allows water to flow through the water meter prior to installation of a water meter. The idler bar is a rigid PVC pipe having machine-threaded connections. Larger sizes seal with rubber O-rings at its ends. Excalibur machines Meter Idlers for all sizes and brands of meters. Common material are PVC and CPVC.
