is a valve needed either side of water meter

[Fallout]

If a water meter is fitted in the kitchen after the stop tap is a cut off valve also needed after the water meter?

Wouldn't have thought so

 

[Dan Robinson]

The water companies like one for servicing.

You are meant to have an isolating valve either side as well as a drain cock between them!

One either side avoids draining down if meter needs to be replaced. Saves wasting water.
