A system for monitoring the flow of water through a pipe. A pipe section is located in a water supply line. The section which houses a metering device includes a box-like section having a cylindrical central portion which is integral with the rear wall of a box defined by parallel vertical front and back exterior walls and vertical upstream and downstream walls interconnecting the front and back walls. The box has upwardly and downwardly facing openings. A transmitting unit including a sensor is contained within a housing which has a front vertical face, upper and lower brackets each defined by a pair of spaced vertical struts project- ing horizontally outwardly from the front vertical face and having a selected width, and a pair of vertical panels extending outwardly from the front vertical face intermediate and integral with the vertical struts. The box is located between the brackets with the upper and lower openings of the box adjacent the upper and lower brackets. A frame projects horizontally outwardly from the front face of the housing which includes the pair of vertical panels, for mounting the sensor. The rear wall of the box is located adjacent the frame. A clip having an elongated band and a "U" shaped clasp at either end has an inner clasp portion selectively sized for insertion through a first opening of one of the brackets and into an opening of the box simultaneously engaging a locking bar and an inner surface of the rear wall of the box, and an outer catch portion for insertion through a second opening to lockingly engage a catch surface of one of the locking bars. The second opening is sized to inhibit access to the free end of the outer catch portion when it is lockingly engaging a catch surface. -11-
