Abstract
An embodiment of a bonding jumper systems can include one bonding jumper comprising an electroconductive material. The bonding jumper can be a member comprising an inlet end and an outlet end. The at least one bonding juniper can be configured to be mechanically coupled to a water meter body. The water meter can comprise an inlet and outlet that both comprise an electroconductive fitting. The inlet end is mechanically coupled to the inlet to initiate an electrical coupling and the outlet end is mechanically coupled to the outlet to complete the electrical coupling. The bonding jumper system can further include a cover configured to encapsulate the meter body and the at least one bonding jumper.
Claims18
A bonding jumper system comprising:
- at least one bonding jumper comprising an electroconductive material and further comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein the at least one bonding jumper is configured to be mechanically coupled to a water meter body that comprises an inlet comprising an electroconductive fitting and an outlet that comprises an electroconductive fitting, and wherein the inlet end is mechanically coupled to the inlet to initiate an electrical coupling and wherein the outlet end is mechanically coupled to the outlet to complete the electrical coupling;
- and
- a cover configured to encapsulate the meter body and the at least one bonding jumper.
A bonding jumper system comprising:
- a meter body comprising an inlet that comprises an electroconductive fitting and an outlet that comprises an electroconductive fitting;
- and
- at least one bonding jumper comprising an electroconductive material, further comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, wherein the inlet end is mechanically coupled to the inlet to initiate an electrical coupling and wherein the outlet end is mechanically coupled to the outlet to complete the electrical coupling;
- and a cover configured to encapsulate the meter body and the at least one bonding jumper.
A method for installing a bonding jumper system comprising:
- coupling a meter body comprising an inlet that comprises an electroconductive fitting and an outlet that comprises an electro-conductive fitting to an external piping system comprising an exit fitting and an entry fitting, wherein the inlet is mechanically coupled to the exit fitting and the outlet is mechanically coupled to the entry fitting and;
- coupling at least one bonding jumper comprising an electroconductive material, further comprising an inlet end and an outlet end, to the meter body, wherein the inlet end is mechanically coupled to the inlet to initiate an electrical coupling and wherein the outlet end is mechanically coupled to the outlet to complete the electrical coupling;
- and applying a cover to the meter body that encapsulates the meter body and the at least one bonding jumper.
