I recently had a similar question. A customer was informed on a report that 2 10" valves in a pit were not secured. THe customer calls me and wants to complain about being written up for something no one else has ever said anything about. I went out to the location and met the AHJ. The AHJ looked at the situation and said he didnt see how it was unsecure. I asked the customer to open the vault so we could see the valves. He kindly did this, at which point I asked the AHJ if the customer could do it with no help why couldnt any one else? The AHJ decided that all valves are to be secured by a minimum of chain and lock. Just a thought. J. Blocker EFPS (303) 353-9712

For the purposes of an NFPA 25 inspection, are valves in meter pits sealed? I believe they are. The meter pit access door requires a special key to open. (1/4 turn square wrench) . The valves inside the pit are not sealed or supervised, but the pit access door would be considered sealed; right?
