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 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.
6. The top of the rod must be 3-1/2 inches below the bottom of the lid. Place the Riva module on the rod.
Completely insert the rod into the pit module's rod mount hole. Do not force the pit module onto the rod.
If the pit module does not slide freely on the rod, remove the pit module and examine the pit module rod
hole and rod for burrs or obstructions.
