Buried SMC Fiberglass Meter Pit – Durable, Anti-Corrosive, and Maintenance-Free

Shandong Jintian's Buried SMC Fiberglass Meter Pit is a high-performance protective enclosure designed for underground installation of water meters, valves, flow meters, pressure gauges, and other pipeline monitoring equipment. Manufactured from premium SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) composite material using compression molding technology, this meter pit offers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability — making it the ideal replacement for traditional brick-and-concrete or metal pits in agricultural irrigation, municipal water supply, and rural water conservation projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• Corrosion & Rust Resistance – SMC fiberglass composite material withstands acid, alkali, salt, seawater, untreated sewage, corrosive soil, and groundwater, ensuring decades of trouble-free service without rusting or degrading.

• High Load Capacity – Engineered with high compressive strength, the meter pit can withstand heavy above-ground loads. Structural performance meets relevant standards for buried installation.

• Lightweight & Easy Installation – With a specific gravity of 1.8–2.0 (approximately one-third the weight of steel), the pit requires no heavy lifting equipment, significantly reducing transportation and installation costs.

• Maintenance-Free – The non-corrosive and anti-fouling properties eliminate the need for regular anti-corrosion treatments or repairs, greatly reducing long-term maintenance expenses.

• Excellent Temperature Tolerance – Maintains high strength and toughness across a wide temperature range, performing reliably from -40°C to 80°C (or even -50°C to 160°C under optimized formulations) in various climatic conditions.

• Anti-Theft Design – Made from non-metallic, non-conductive SMC material with no scrap value, the pit eliminates the risk of theft commonly associated with metal or cast-iron enclosures.

• Good Sealing & Waterproofing – The precision-molded structure provides excellent sealing, preventing groundwater infiltration, dust ingress, and maintaining a dry interior for sensitive metering equipment.

• UV & Weather Resistant – Superior anti-aging properties ensure the material retains its mechanical integrity even after prolonged outdoor or underground exposure.

• Long Service Life – With a design life exceeding 20–30 years, SMC meter pits dramatically outlast traditional materials under similar operating conditions.

• Customizable – Available in various dimensions, wall thicknesses (2–12 mm), and load ratings to meet specific project requirements.
