require longer rod lengths to ensure that the pit module is well supported and remains
vertical.
4. Without touching the meter body or adjacent pipes, position the rod as close to the center of
the pit as possible. Drive the rod into the ground. Ensure that the rod remains vertical.
Note: The rod shown has an end cap to protect the rod while driving it into the ground.
5. Drive the rod into the ground so the top of the rod is approximately 3-1/2 inches below the
bottom of the pit lid.
–
If you cannot drive the rod in enough to equal the necessary spacing, cut the remaining
rod length to the proper height using an abrasive cut-off tool.
Caution: Cutting fiberglass creates dust particles. Practice proper safety
precautions when using cut-off tools to prevent exposure to fiberglass dust
particles.
–
If the rod is the correct depth but remains loose in the soil, replace the rod with a longer
version.
