- 1). Stand in front of your water meter with your roll of wire. Carefully wrap the wire around the water meter to roughly measure how long it should be.
- 2). Cut the wire 3 inches longer than the rough measurement you took, using wire cutters. This will allow you to thread the wire easily through the twist seal and give you enough room to allow for error.
- 3). Holding the twist seal in one hand, wrap the wire around the water meter. Thread the ends of the wire through the twist seal. Continue to push both wire ends through the twist seal until the wire is tight around the water meter.
- 4). Twist the plastic handle of the twist seal clockwise to tighten the seal until you can't tighten it any more.
- 5). Snap off the plastic handle of the twist seal.
