Abstract
A sealing ring for an electric meter socket has first and second spaced ends. A tongue with a plurality of linearly spaced apertures extends linearly outward from the first end of the sealing ring. A housing is mounted on the second end of the sealing ring and includes a passage for receiving the tongue therethrough. A threaded fastener is mounted in the housing and engages successive apertures in the tongue to advance and retract the tongue through the housing to connect and disconnect the sealing ring about the electric meter socket. At least one and preferably two seal tabs extend outward from the second end of the band and engage the apertures in the tongue. A seal member is emplaceable through the seal tabs to indicate a sealed mounting on the sealing ring on the electric meter socket.
