Ford Meter Box bc11-666sw-nl Ball Valve Fip X Fip

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX bc11-666sw-nl is a no-lead ball valve designed for stop and waste service in potable water distribution systems. It features 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread (FIP) connections on both ends, making it a straightforward threaded replacement or new-installation fitting. The no-lead construction meets federal and state lead-free requirements for use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this valve where a full-shutoff with waste drainage capability is required, such as at service entrances or outdoor supply lines subject to freeze protection.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where an in-line shutoff and waste function is needed on a 1-1/2 inch FIP-threaded line. The stop and waste design allows the downstream line to drain after shutoff, which is a common requirement for outdoor faucet supplies, irrigation branch lines, and similar applications in cold-climate installations. It is installed by licensed plumbers and water works contractors working to IPC or local equivalent code.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation valve for 1-1/2 inch female iron pipe thread stop and waste applications in potable water service lines.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable IPC or local plumbing code. Shut off the upstream water supply and depressurize the line before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant tape or compound rated for potable water service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack valve bodies or fittings.
