Claim:
1. A housing assembly for a flow meter configured for measuring the flow of a liquid, said housing assembly comprising: a housing defining a housing-void configured for receiving flow measurement components, wherein an outer surface of said housing further defines a register interface configured for being mechanically associated with a register, and wherein said housing further defines a cover receiver portion defining an distal-end and receiver inner-wall defining inner-wall-threads; wherein said housing further comprises an input-port and an output-port wherein said input-port is configured for being associated with a fluid source to allow fluid flow into said housing-void and said output-port is configured for being associated with a supply line to allow fluid flow out of said housing-void; wherein said receiver inner-wall defines a shelf that extends perpendicularly form said receiver inner-wall a predefined distance thereby defining a shelf-surface having a shelf-width wherein said shelf is located a predefined shelf-offset-distance from said distal-end and wherein said shelf-surface further defines a sealing-member-receiver running angularly along said shelf-surface, said sealing-member-receiver configured for receiving an O-Ring sealing-member and wherein said sealing-member-receiver defines a channel suitably sized to receive said O-ring and wherein said working fluid pressure is at least 200-PSI; a cover defining inside cover surface and an opposing outside cover surface connected by a peripheral edge, said cover further defining a perimeter-cover-thickness and an inner-cover-thickness and further defining a sealing surface running along the perimeter of said inside cover surface, said cover suitably configured to be associated with said cover-receiver so that said sealing surface is associated with said sealing-member; and wherein said peripheral edge defines peripheral-edge-threads configured for being mechanically associated with said inner-wall-threads.
