Westward 31MJ73 Meter Key 60 in Steel Powder-Coated tool storage

SKU CH-CQE6-G1E7F

A 60 in alloy-steel meter key with powder-coated finish for turning service valves

  • 60 in overall length provides deep reach for buried valves
  • T-handle design delivers strong turning leverage on stiff fittings
  • Alloy steel construction resists bending under high torque loads
  • Powder-coated finish protects against rust in wet conditions
  • Non-magnetic alloy steel prevents interference with sensitive locating equipment

Meter Key for Utility Access

The Westward 31MJ73 meter key is a 60 in alloy steel tool designed for operating water service valves and curb stops. Its T-handle shape provides leverage for turning buried fittings. This tool suits maintenance crews, plumbers and property managers who need reliable access to underground utility connections.

Simple Operation with Safety Note

The key requires no assembly; the user inserts the slotted end onto the valve nut and turns using the T-handle. Powder coating improves grip and resists corrosion during outdoor use. California Proposition 65 warns this product contains a chemical known to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, so wash hands after handling.

60 Inch Reach Determines Fit

The single specification that decides suitability is the 60 in overall length, which sets the maximum depth the operator can reach from ground level. If the target valve sits deeper than this reach allows, the key cannot engage it. Buyers needing access to deeper vaults or confined spaces where a straight 60 in tool cannot manoeuvre should look for a different length or articulated design.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 3/4 in key engages the meter correctly after setup?

Insert the 3/4 in key into the meter socket and turn the 60 in T-handle; smooth rotation without binding shows the alloy steel shaft is aligned and the powder-coated finish is not interfering.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The box contains the single 60 in powder-coated alloy steel meter key with a T-handle; no additional keys, lubricants or protective sleeves are included.

Which version of the 31MJ73 should I choose for standard water-meter service?

The listed 3/4 in SAE size on the 60 in alloy steel shaft matches typical residential water-meter nuts, so this single version fits the common application.
