About meter box lids

The price list has HDPE lids in six sizes, 10 x 15 to 17 x 30 in., named like the HDPE boxes of the same size. Tops and colors vary by size: solid, with a reader, with a reader and TR hole (11 x 18, 13 x 24, 15 x 27 and 17 x 30 in.), or with a TR hole (13 x 24 in.), in black, gray or purple. The pickers show what each size comes in. Boxes and lids are separate items.

The load rating depends on the box and lid combination. The box spec sheets list lid options, polymer and ductile iron, with their ratings; ask your regional team which rating a price-list lid carries.

Questions and answers7 questions buyers ask about lids

Where do I find the price?

The HDPE price list is not posted on this site. Add items to your quote list, ask your regional team, or call 800.999.2550 with the item numbers. SIGMA sells through waterworks distributors, and your distributor sets your price.

Which lid fits my box?

The price list has lids in six sizes: 10 x 15, 11 x 18, 13 x 24, 14 x 16, 15 x 27 and 17 x 30 in., named like the HDPE boxes of the same size. Ask your regional team to confirm the lid for your box. The 9 x 16, 10 x 20, 12 x 20, 14 x 22 and 17 x 18 in. boxes and the oval box have no lid on the price list.

What do reader and TR hole mean?

The price list describes lids as solid, with a reader, with a reader and TR hole, or with a TR hole. It does not say more. The box spec sheets list polymer lids in plain, flip read and touch read versions. Ask your regional team which one matches your meter.

What load can a lid take?

The load rating depends on the box and lid combination. The box spec sheets list lid options with their ratings and say higher ratings are available on request. Ask your regional team which rating a price-list lid carries.

Do radio-read meters work through the lid?

Ask your regional team whether a price-list lid suits your meter's radio read. The box spec sheets describe their polymer lids as supporting RF transparency.

Can I get other colors or markings?

The price list has black, gray and purple lids. For other colors or markings, such as SEWER, WATER or a township marking, ask your regional team.

Do you have lids for round meter pits?

Yes. Ask your regional team for the round lid that fits your pit. The meter pit spec sheets say each pit takes all standard covers, AMR lids too; for metal lids, see the castings meter boxes and lids.

It started with a lid.

SIGMA has sold the LC217 meter lid for years. At a distributor in Knoxville, Tennessee, a truckload of round plastic meter pits arrived, each one wearing an LC217. Today the plastic boxes and pits are SIGMA's too.
