Ford Meter Box c15-77-nl 2 in No-lead Coupling Fip X Pack Joint

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c15-77-nl is a no-lead coupling designed to connect 2-inch Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIP) fittings to 2-inch Iron Pipe Pack Joint (PJ) connections in water service and distribution piping systems. This fitting is built for use in potable water applications where lead-free construction is required to meet current plumbing codes. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians install this type of coupling during meter setting, service line tie-ins, and water main tapping work where a transition between threaded and pack joint connections is needed.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial water service installations, particularly where a meter setter or curb stop connects a threaded component to a pack joint service line. The no-lead construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to NSF and state plumbing code requirements governing lead content in wetted components. It is typically installed at the meter pit or service connection point by licensed plumbing contractors.

Key Features

• No-lead construction suitable for potable water service applications
• 2-inch FIP inlet threads to a 2-inch Iron Pipe Pack Joint outlet
• Pack joint end provides a positive mechanical connection without soldering or threading on the PJ side
• Compact coupling form factor for use in meter pits and tight service installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or service fitting for 2-inch water service piping systems using FIP threaded and pack joint connection configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water service line completely before disassembling existing fittings or installing this coupling. Ensure FIP threads are clean and undamaged and apply an approved thread sealant before making up the threaded connection. The pack joint end requires the pipe to be cut square and deburred for a proper seal.
