Aside from that, they may also be different depending on the materials used for its construction, as well as the manner of its installation and other special features. For example, there are those products and choices that are mounted on the surface. Aside from that, you can also have those that are semi-buried or those mounted on the wall. It all depends on what your preference and requirements are. Of course, this is notwithstanding some other factors that you might want to consider when choosing the right one for your particular gas meter system. Fire Retardant Boxes One of the most popular types of meter box products is a fire retardant item. What this means is that they can withstand the heat of a fire up to a particular level. This way, they can isolate or contain any thermal dynamics that may affect the system inside it. So, you do not have to worry about abrupt short circuits when a fire unfortunately happens.
