Ford Meter Box b84-333-q-nl Ball Valve 3/4 in Mip X Cts

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX b84-333-q-nl is a no-lead ball valve designed for water service applications requiring a 3/4-inch male iron pipe thread (MIP) inlet and a 3/4-inch copper tubing size (CTS) quick joint outlet. This valve provides reliable shutoff for potable water service lines and is built to no-lead standards, making it suitable for drinking water systems. At 1.81 pounds, it is a solid, field-ready component. The quick joint CTS end simplifies copper tubing connections without additional fittings, reducing installation time on service line work. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors are the primary installers of this valve type.

This ball valve is intended for residential and light commercial water service line installations where a transition from threaded iron pipe to copper tubing is required. Typical applications include water meter stations, curb stop assemblies, and service lateral connections. The MIP thread end connects directly to standard iron pipe or compatible fittings, while the CTS quick joint end accommodates standard copper service tubing. It is well-suited for new construction and replacement service work in potable water distribution systems.
