Ford Meter Box c14-34-q-nl Fip Cts Quick Joint Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c14-34-q-nl is a no-lead coupling designed to connect a 3/4-inch Female Iron Pipe (FIP) thread to a 1-inch Copper Tube Size (CTS) quick joint end. This fitting is used in water service and distribution piping where dissimilar connection types must be joined. The no-lead construction meets safe drinking water requirements, making it appropriate for potable water systems. At approximately 1.0 pound, it is a compact, field-ready fitting. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians are the primary installers of this type of coupling.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial water service applications where a transition is needed between iron pipe threaded connections and CTS quick joint terminations. The quick joint end allows for faster field assembly compared to traditional compression or sweat connections. It is commonly installed at meter sets, service line transitions, or distribution main connections where FIP and CTS piping systems meet.

Key Features

• No-lead construction meets safe drinking water regulations for potable water systems
• 3/4-inch FIP inlet connects to standard female iron pipe threaded fittings
• 1-inch CTS quick joint outlet enables fast, tool-assisted field assembly
• Dual-size transition eliminates the need for additional reducing fittings at the connection point
• Compact form factor suitable for tight meter pit and service line installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for water service piping systems requiring a transition from 3/4-inch female iron pipe thread to 1-inch CTS quick joint connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Ensure the FIP threads are clean and use appropriate thread sealant on the iron pipe side before assembly. Follow the manufacturer quick joint assembly procedure and verify the joint is fully seated and leak-free before restoring service pressure.
