A SlipNOT^® water meter cover can incorporate safety to the sidewalks of any city.  Anyone that has walked on top of a water meter cover knows that they can be slippery, especially when wet.  On the West Coast electrical and water components are run underground, leaving an exposed metal access panel, water meter cover or vault cover above ground.  This access panel or vault cover is generally composed of solid plate or grating and can be extremely slippery when worn or wet.  In order to keep pedestrians safe, a slip resistant surface should be mandatorily applied to the covers of all vaults, water meters and electrical covers.  Some cities, such as the City of Los Angeles, have been taking this proactive approach to public safety for years.  They are setting a high safety standard for neighboring cities. 

Advantages of SlipNOT^® water meter cover:

• SlipNOT^® has a coefficient of friction that is greater than or equal to 0.85
• Surface hardness of between 55-63 on the Rockwell “C” scale
• Bond strength of at least 4,000 psi
• Customization allows for easy maneuverability
• Longevity and durability

In my opinion, every city that has water meter covers or exposed vault covers should take a look at their dedication to public safety by installing a slip resistant water meter cover.  SlipNOT^® offers large samples fabricated to the customer’s specifications in order to be tested and evaluated.  A SlipNOT^® water meter cover can be customized to any size, shape and dimension in order to meet the needs of any project.  A SlipNOT^® water meter cover provides a non-slip durable answer for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists, even in the heaviest traffic.
