Water Meter AMI Field Splice Kits
Connector Kings SA102 3 Wire Direct Burial Connector in combination with Connector Kings UY Butt Connectors serves as the perfect solution for connecting your water/gas meter to the Meter Transmission Unit (MTU).
Double waterproofing: Waterproof gel connectors splice individual wires, then our SA102 Direct Burial Connector seals the wire connections in our proprietary XR grease compound, and then seals it shut in a thick gauge plastic tube. This locks out all environmental moisture which prevents unwanted corrosion.
5 Year Warranty: Connector Kings is the ONLY manufacturer of waterproof wire connectors that offers a five year warranty on our connectors.
Buy Direct from our Factory: You may qualify to purchase our waterproof wire connectors direct from our factory as an OEM, and save more than 50%.
Use Cases
- Attach AMR/AMI devices to meter, encoders, and sub metering applications in meter pits or for direct burial.
- Splice meter registers to touch read pads
- Splice broken wires in existing AMR/AMI devices and meters, or meters and touchpad
- Splice broken wires between generators and remote registers or visual displays
- Two wire or three wire devices (includes gel connectors)

What are AMI/MTU Conversions?
Municipalities across the globe are embracing technological advancements to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of their utility operations. One significant stride in this direction involves the adoption of Meter Transmission Units (MTUs). These devices play a pivotal role in modernizing utility metering systems, facilitating remote data collection, and optimizing resource management.
MTUs are instrumental components within the broader framework of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). They are typically installed alongside utility meters, including water, gas, and electricity meters, enabling seamless communication between the meters and the central data collection point. This communication occurs via various wireless technologies such as radio frequency (RF) mesh networks, cellular networks, or power line communication (PLC).
What are the benefits of converting to MTU's?
Converting to MTUs offers numerous benefits:
1. Improved Data Accuracy: MTUs enable automated meter readings, reducing human errors for more precise billing and enhanced customer satisfaction.
2. Real-Time Monitoring: With MTUs, municipalities can monitor utility consumption patterns in real-time, allowing them to detect anomalies, leaks, and fluctuations promptly.
3. Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Automating meter reading processes and streamlining data collection contributes to greater operational efficiency, resulting in cost savings and improved service delivery.
4. Data-Driven Decision Making: MTUs collect valuable data on consumer behavior and infrastructure performance, enabling informed decision-making and strategic planning for future investments.
5.Customer Empowerment: MTUs provide consumers with real-time consumption data, empowering them to manage their usage more efficiently, promote conservation efforts, and potentially reduce utility bills.
Implementing MTUs requires careful planning, investment, and collaboration among stakeholders. It involves assessing infrastructure requirements, selecting appropriate communication technologies, ensuring data security and privacy, and engaging stakeholders effectively.
Overall, adopting MTUs reflects a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and service excellence in delivering essential utilities. By embracing modern metering solutions, municipalities can enhance operational resilience, optimize resource utilization, and meet the evolving needs of their communities.
