Title: Why Bury The District Regulator

Abstract: With the development of the temperature compensated gas meter in the late 1950s, it became evident to a number of companies that gas distribution facilities could be installed outside and above ground. Predictions of vandalism and damage proved to be largely unfounded. In 1967, Minnegasco decided on a field trial of two post mounted district regulators. Prior to this lime, our standard installation consisted of a working monitor and a primary regulator - each in its own three section precast concrete vault. The new inslallations were easily accomplished and the economics were attractive. Since that time, we have installed approximately 100 above ground district regulators - some of the loop or hairpin type, but mostly post mounted and almost all on public right-of-way.
