Test valves and regulators for leaks and accurate< /span> temperature and pressure settings, using precision testing equipment. < /span>Record meter readings and installation data on meter cards, work orders, or field service orders, or enter data into hand-held computers. < /span>Shut off service and notify repair crews when major repairs are required< /span>, such as the replacement of underground pipes or wiring. 
• Install regulators and related equipment such as gas meters, odorization units, and gas pressure telemetering equipment. < /span>
Cut seats to receive new orifices, tap inspection ports, and perform other repairs to salvage usable materials, using hand tools and machine tools.  
• Turn valves to allow measured amounts of air or gas to pass through meters at specified flow rates.  
• Report hazardous field situations and damaged or missing meters. 
• Vary air pressure flowing into regulators and turn handles to assess functioning of valves and pistons. 

• Examine valves or mechanical control device parts for defects, dents, or loose attachments, and mark malfunctioning areas of defective units.  
• Mount and install meters and other electric equipment such as time clocks, transformers, and circuit breakers, using electricians' hand tools.  
• Connect regulators to test stands and turn screw adjustments until gauges indicate< /span> that inlet and outlet pressures meet specifications. 
• Trace and tag meters or house lines.  
• Repair electric meters and components, such as transformers and relays, and replace metering devices, dial glasses, and faulty or incorrect wiring, using hand tools.  
• Replace defective parts, such as bellows, range springs, and toggle switches, and reassemble units according to blueprints, using cam presses and hand tools.  
• Recondition displacement type gas meters and governors, fabricating, machining, or modifying parts needed for repairs. 
• Measure tolerances of assembled and salvageable parts for conformance to standards or specifications, using gauges, micrometers, and calipers. 
• Clean internal compartments and moving parts, using rags and cleaning compounds. < /span>
Dismantle meters, and replace or adjust defective parts such as cases, shafts, gears, disks, and recording mechanisms, using soldering irons and hand tools.  
• Disconnect or remove defective or unauthorized meters, using hand tools.  
• Reassemble repaired equipment, and solder top, front, and back case panels in place, using soldering guns, power tools, and hand tools.  
• Attach air hoses to meter inlets, plug outlets, and observe gauges for pressure losses to test internal seams for leaks.  
• Adjust meter components, such as setscrews or timing mechanisms, so that they conform to specifications. 
• Clamp regulator units into vises on stages above water tanks and attach compressed air hoses to intake ports.  
• Repair leaks in valve seats or bellows of automotive heater thermostats, using soft solder, flux, and acetylene torches. 
• Splice and connect cables from meters or current transformers to pull boxes or switchboards, using hand tools.  
• Attach pressurized meters to fixtures which submerge them in water and observe meters for leaks.  
• Calibrate thermostats for specified temperature or pressure settings. 
• Clean plant growth, scale, paint, soil, or rust from meter housings, using wire brushes, scrapers, buffers, sandblasters, or cleaning compounds. < /span>
• Connect hoses from provers to meter inlets and outlets and raise prover bells until prover gauges register zero.< /span> 
• Performs other related duties as assigned.
