It provides a reliable transition fitting for water service applications where dissimilar pipe materials meet. The no-lead construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water systems. Plumbers and waterworks contractors install this fitting in residential and light commercial water service lines where a fast, secure PE pipe connection is needed alongside a threaded iron pipe fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in underground water service installations where PE pipe transitions to threaded iron pipe at a meter, curb stop, or service entry point. The quick-joint PE end simplifies field installation by eliminating the need for additional compression tools on the PE side. It is suited for new construction and replacement service work in both residential and municipal distribution applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo-lead construction compliant with potable water contact requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch FIP thread on one end for connection to iron pipe or threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-inch PE quick-joint end for tool-free polyethylene pipe insertion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact transition coupling for water service line installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a box quantity of 10, suitable for multi-job supply stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard transition fitting for 1-inch FIP threaded connections to 1-inch polyethylene water service pipe in residential and commercial water distribution systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or waterworks contractors following local plumbing codes and applicable AWWA standards. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Ensure the PE pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting into the quick-joint end, and verify full thread engagement on the FIP side. Do not overtighten the threaded connection, as this may damage the fitting body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-inch Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIP) x 1-inch PE Pipe Quick Joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Content\u003c\/strong\u003e: No-Lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.29 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FORD METER BOX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: c16-44-q-nl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"FORD METER BOX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233366999346,"sku":"C16-44-Q-NL","price":90.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307626579.jpg?v=1780098530","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ford-meter-box-c16-44-q-nl-1-in-no-lead-coupling-fip-x-pe-quick-joint","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
