QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Ask a Question-
I have a multi 14 tenant building that has only one meter. I have to install a meter for billing purposes one restaurant tenant that says they use 400,000 BTU's from an incha and half gas line. please let me know if you can provide a submeter
Our 1.5" Gas Meter has a maximum flow-rate (Qmax) of 565 ft³/hr. This equates to 581,950 BTU/hr with natural gas, or 1,405,720 BTU/hr at 60ºF with propane (temperature dependent). So this 1.5" gas meter should work for you if you are using either natural gas or propane.

Can this be installed inside a building?
We do not recommend that you install our gas meters indoors.While we can’t assure you that the indoor installation of our gas meter is safe, and we would never recommend that you install a gas meter indoors, it is kind of a grey area industry-wide. This from https://inspectapedia.com/plumbing/Gas_Meters.php"Gas meter location: gas meters are located outdoors except when special permission is given by the gas company. Indoor gas meters increase the risk of an indoor gas leak, require special venting, and can make it more dangerous to shut off gas in an emergency.”The risk, as stated above, is indoor gas leaks. If you are somehow forced to install your gas meter indoors, to minimize the risk, the compartment in which the gas meter is located should have free venting to outside air and be sealed from other indoor areas. But, bottom line, there is an increased risk of problems with any indoor gas meter installation, and that risk is assumed by whoever makes the decision to place the meter indoors. Our recommendation, as always, is to locate the meter outdoors.
