Abstract
A meter pit tile extension assembly is provided. Illustratively, an inner ring is attachable to a pit tile. The inner ring includes a first set of a plurality of outwardly extending ribs. A first space located adjacent the first set of the plurality of outwardly extending ribs. An outer ring is provided that is telescopingly positioned over, and vertically movable with respect to, the inner ring. The outer ring includes a first set of a plurality of inwardly extending ribs. The first set of the plurality of inwardly extending ribs of the outer ring are selectively positionable in a first position in the first space between the first set of the plurality of outwardly extending ribs. The outer ring is also rotatable with respect to the inner ring. Rotation of the outer ring with respect to the inner ring causes the first set of the plurality of inwardly extending ribs to be selectively positionable in a second position such that at least one inwardly extending rib of the first set of the plurality of inwardly extending ribs is selectively positionable adjacent at least one outwardly extending rib of the first set of the plurality of outwardly extending ribs.
