stuccoman Posted December 6, 2005 Report Posted December 6, 2005 Can anybody tell me why they are not self flashing? I wouldn't want a water leak at a 200 amp service!

I'm not sure that I understand your question, but I'll try to divine your intent. A meter can that's rated for use outdoors, doesn't need to be flashed to protect the can or its contents. The enclosure weatherproof. However, it may need to be flashed to protect the stucture that it's attached to just as you need to flash windows, doors and trim. - Jim Katen, Oregon
stuccoman Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks Jim, That is what I am getting at! In the kansas city metro they fir them out with a chunk of 3/4 inch plywood when the house gets stucco. It seems to me they would leak no matter what kind of cladding was on the house! Into the wall cavity that is.
