It features a 1-inch meter swivel nut on one end and a 1-inch male iron pipe thread on the other, measuring 2 inches in length. This fitting bridges the meter outlet to downstream piping, providing a secure, leak-resistant joint. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this coupling during meter set installations and service line work where lead-free compliance is required by code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and light commercial water meter installations. It is commonly used at the meter pit or vault where the meter outlet transitions to threaded service line piping. The swivel nut end allows for easy hand-start alignment before final tightening, reducing cross-threading risk in tight meter box conditions. It is appropriate for new construction meter sets and meter replacement service calls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch meter swivel nut end for easy alignment and connection to meter outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-inch male iron pipe thread end for connection to threaded service line fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 2-inch body length suits confined meter box installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 0.62 pounds for straightforward single-hand handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement coupling for 1-inch potable water meter connections using standard meter swivel nut and male iron pipe thread configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified water utility technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements.
