To install a meter, the meter is lifted up and inserted between two flanges. Many times, when one flange or the other is rotated a little bit too far or not quite far enough, the bolt holes do not line up. The flange level, developed by the City of Joliet, takes the trickiness out of tightening and leveling meter flanges. Materials, costs and instructions for constructing the flange level are included.
