Ford Meter Box c04-44-q-nl 1 in No-lead Cts Quick Joint Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c04-44-q-nl is a no-lead coupling designed for water service applications requiring a 1-inch female copper thread (FC) connection on one end and a 1-inch copper tube size (CTS) quick joint on the other. This fitting provides a fast, reliable mechanical connection without the use of lead-bearing alloys, keeping installations compliant with current potable water safety standards. It is installed by licensed plumbers and water service technicians working on residential and light commercial water main and service line assemblies.

The no-lead construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to lead-free compliance requirements under applicable plumbing codes. It is a utility-grade fitting commonly used in meter setting, curb stop, and service line replacement work.
