New Construction:
Used to properly space meter couplings or valves when the water meter is not yet available.
Light weight PVC is easier to use for initial plumbing in of meter couplings than a heavy brass water meter
Can be used to plumb for a future water meter to be installed at a later date while allowing water and the place for the meter.
Meter Replacement
A meter idler tube can be used to supply water temporarily if a meter is removed for repair or testing
