    This just in: it's apparently been the same way in Baltimore, and the utility wants to fix that, and 120 residents are suing the utility not to fix it.

    "I'm happy to have an internal regulator if its thought to be safer," said Donna Sylvester. "That's not the problem. It's this external regulator that is defacing the historic nature of these older homes."​

    I'm thinking of something else that tends to alter the historic nature of older homes....

    Would an indoor regulator be prettier? Maybe ... but then you still need to plumb something from it to the outdoors so it can vent gas if need be, and then you can't use the "no vent pipe" graph for inlet/outlet pressure.

    I'm trying not to let my aching eyeball muscles and the fact that I've actually BEEN to 'Clipper City' influence my posting.
    Public utilities are just that.....PUBLIC.
    There's a legal demarc between public and private, and generally speaking that means a box or device of some kind on the outside of the home, and hey!
    100 years from now - THAT will be 'historic.'
    OUCH!
    My eyes just rolled again.......

    Methinks this is a MONEY problem more than a meter problem.

    Yeah, do you really want to move that regulator indoors?

    That means asking to have the higher-pressure gas line come inside your structure.

    And you still need another penetration for the regulator's vent port to be plumbed back outside above ground.
