Mounting Considerations
MTU Installation Requirements 17
Pit
When mounting inside a meter pit, MTUs should either be connected to an
optional Meter Pit Antenna (please see the Meter Pit Antenna Installation
Instructions Y63129-TUM for more information), or mounted to an Aclara
approved, non-metallic pit lid. When mounting to a non-metallic pit lid, the MTUs
must be mounted with the Aclara logo facing the pit lid. Screws and cable ties used
in pit installations must be 18/8 (SAE Type 304) stainless steel.
Without Spacers
Some manufacturers design pit lids with a mounting space for the MTU on the
bottom of the pit lid. When installing an MTU to one of these pit lids, the MTU
mounting tabs sit directly against the pit lid. Spacers are not needed for these lids.
