What happens here

The meter pan, which houses the electric meter, needs to be securely mounted to the exterior wall of the building. The apprentice uses a level, specifically a Klein Tools level, to ensure the meter pan is perfectly straight and plumb. Once aligned, an impact driver is used to drive screws or fasteners through the mounting holes in the meter pan and into the building's siding, securing it in place.

Goal: Securely attach the meter pan in a level position on the building's exterior.

Tools and materials

  • Impact Driver/Drill Milwaukee — Driving screws to secure the meter pan
  • Level Klein Tools — Ensuring the meter pan is horizontally and vertically aligned
  • Meter Pan — The enclosure for the electric meter
  • Screws/Fasteners — Securing the meter pan to the building
