Ford Meter Box c38-24-2-5-nl Meter Coupling 5/8x3/4

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c38-24-2-5-nl is a no-lead water service coupling designed to connect a meter swivel nut to a male iron pipe thread fitting. Measuring 2.5 inches in length, it transitions a 5/8-inch by 3/4-inch meter swivel nut connection to a 3/4-inch male iron pipe thread. The no-lead construction meets safe drinking water standards, making it appropriate for potable water service installations. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians install this coupling as part of residential and light commercial water meter assemblies.

This coupling is used in water meter settings where a swivel nut connection on the meter outlet side must transition to a standard male iron pipe thread. It is suited for residential service lateral connections and meter pit or meter vault installations. The 5/8-inch by 3/4-inch sizing is common in residential water metering configurations where a 3/4-inch iron pipe thread continuation is required downstream of the meter.

• 5/8 x 3/4-inch meter swivel nut inlet connection

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements. Shut off the water service supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any meter coupling. Use appropriate thread sealant rated for potable water on the male iron pipe thread connection. Do not overtighten the swivel nut, as distortion can compromise the seal.
