Ford Meter Box 202b-1212-ip3 Brass Saddle 10 in 3/4 Ip

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX 202b-1212-ip3 is a double strap brass saddle designed for tapping into water mains and service lines at a 3/4-inch iron pipe thread outlet. Built for use on pipe with an outside diameter range of 11.10 to 12.12 inches, this saddle provides a secure, leak-resistant connection point without requiring a full line shutdown. The double strap design distributes clamping force evenly around the pipe, making it a reliable choice for new service taps on pressurized mains. Licensed plumbers and utility contractors install this type of fitting during water service installations and main extensions.

This brass saddle is suited for potable water distribution applications in municipal, residential, and commercial settings. It is typically used when tapping a new service connection off an existing main line in the 10-inch nominal pipe size range. The 3/4-inch iron pipe thread outlet accommodates standard corporation stops and service valves used in water utility work. The fitting is appropriate for direct bury applications where a durable, corrosion-resistant material is required.
