Gas Meter Moving

[Fowlersrs]

I went to a job today that needed pricing, guy has a meter on the wall in a external meter box.
Incoming supply is straight up into the meter box, chap needs the meter box moving to the left by about the distance of a meter box which would make the incoming a right hand point of entry.

Im obivously happy to alter the external pipework and connect it accordingly. What I wasnt sure was, can I remove everything and order a new meter box and just move it?

Can u get longer anacondas for right to left connection as now the inlet would be on the right im wondering if it might be a little tight with the existing. Can I even do this work or legally do the gas transporter have to move box and meter and I connect off the meter only?

Any thoughts guys..

What do you think?

My guess would be gas transporter to move meter box and adjust anaconda for new incoming supply accordingly leaving me to adjust external pipework back to the meter..

Only reason I questioned it was because im pretty sure that it can be done without adjusting anything upstream of the ecv, I see u can get Mitras meter boxes but im a little unsure if there suitable for right hand entry.. Only part you would need the gas board for would be when your anaconda doesnt reach from right to left.. UNLESS its not possible to do it that way and upstream of the ECV has to be altered to suit left hand entry only.

Ive never had this scenario before..
