Funnily enough yesterday I had 3 faults on one meter. ECV Letting by, the regulator was knackered and the test nipple had a split in it. Ho hum...

No, was a metric U6.

Certain types of G4 meters have been found to be prone to simply stopping. They are generally manufactured by George wilson Industries and are G4 types. You might also notice erratic throughput as the mechanisms get sticky,causing outlet WP to bob up and down.
