Water meter pit ST6/D/Z DN600 H1200 with bottom and lock (without water meter and water meter connection)

Water meter pit – protection and easy access to the water meter

The ST6/D/Z water meter pit is a reliable solution for securing water meters in water supply networks. The pit's construction, with a bottom and a lock, provides not only protection against mechanical damage and weather conditions but also hinders unauthorized access. It is an ideal solution for both installers and end-users who value safety and convenience.

The ST6 pit utilizes the thermos principle – polyurethane insulation (50mm thickness) minimizes the risk of freezing connections, even at low temperatures. Installing the water meter approximately 30 cm below the cover, combined with a thermal plug, further increases protection against freezing. The lack of a bottom in the pit allows installation in areas with a high water table without fear of buoyancy forces – meter reading is possible without having to remove the water.

Construction and application

The ST6/D/Z pit is made of durable polyethylene (HDPE), which guarantees its durability and corrosion resistance. The polyethylene cover of class A15 (load capacity of 1.5 tons) ensures safe use. Additionally, the option to lock the pit with a key increases protection against unauthorized access.

The application of a water meter pit is wide – it is ideal for anywhere a water meter needs to be installed outside a building or in places with limited access. It protects the meter set from mechanical damage, weather influences, and interference from third parties. This is particularly important in the absence of the possibility of placing the water meter in the basement or garage, which is often required by water companies.

Key features and benefits

• Freeze protection: Polyurethane insulation and a thermal plug minimize the risk of damage to the installation during frost.
• Installation in wet areas: The lack of a bottom eliminates the problem of buoyancy forces and allows easy meter reading without having to drain the pit.
• Durable construction: HDPE body and class A15 cover ensure long-term operation and resistance to mechanical damage.
• Security: The ability to lock the pit with a key protects against unauthorized access to the water meter.
• Easy access to the water meter: The pit allows convenient reading of the meter status without having to enter the basement or garage.
• Hygienic Certificate PZH PIB B-BK-60210-. 0856/21 confirms the safety of using the pit in contact with drinking water.
• Weight approx. 22 kg facilitates the transport and installation of the pit.
• Diameter 600 mm and height 1200 mm provide adequate space for the metering installation.

The ST6/D/Z pit is an investment in safety and convenience – reliable meter protection and easy access to readings are benefits appreciated by both professional installers and end-users.
