Ford Meter Box b84-444m-q-nl 1 in Ball Valve Mip Cts No Lead

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX b84-444m-q-nl is a 1-inch no-lead ball valve designed for water service connections. It features a male iron pipe thread (MIP) inlet on one end and a 1-inch copper tube size (CTS) quick joint outlet on the other, allowing fast, reliable connections without soldering. The no-lead construction meets federal and state safe drinking water requirements. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians install this valve on potable water service lines where a shutoff point is needed between the main and the meter or building entry.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial water service applications, particularly where a Minneapolis-style ball valve is specified. The MIP by CTS quick joint configuration speeds up installation in meter pit and curb stop settings. It is commonly used by utility contractors and plumbing crews working on water service taps, meter replacements, and service upgrades where a compliant, no-lead shutoff is required.

Key Features

• No-lead construction compliant with federal safe drinking water standards
• 1-inch male iron pipe thread (MIP) inlet for threaded connection to service fittings
• 1-inch CTS quick joint outlet eliminates the need for soldering or compression tools
• Full-port ball valve design allows full flow when open

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 1-inch potable water service line applications requiring a MIP by CTS quick joint shutoff.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or water service technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water main and relieve line pressure before removing or installing the valve. Inspect threads and joint surfaces for debris before making connections. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can damage the valve body or mating fittings.
