Ford Meter Box c44-34-q-nl Cts Quick Joint Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c44-34-q-nl is a no-lead coupling designed to join CTS (Copper Tube Size) tubing using a quick joint connection on both ends. The fitting transitions between a 3/4-inch CTS quick joint and a 1-inch CTS quick joint, making it suitable for connecting two different tube sizes in a single inline connection. Weighing 1.25 pounds, this coupling is built for water service and distribution piping applications where lead-free construction is required to meet potable water standards. Licensed plumbers and water service contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial water service installations where CTS tubing is the pipe material of choice. The quick joint ends allow for efficient connection without the need for soldering or adhesive, reducing installation time in tight or confined service environments. It is well suited for underground water service line repairs and new installations where dissimilar CTS tube sizes must be joined inline.

Key Features

• No-lead construction meets potable water safe-drinking-water compliance requirements
• 3/4-inch CTS quick joint inlet by 1-inch CTS quick joint outlet for reducing or expanding connections
• Quick joint ends on both sides for tool-free, solder-free field connections
• Compact fitting weight of 1.25 pounds for easy handling in the field
• Sold in a box quantity of 15 units for job-site stocking efficiency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit coupling for CTS water service tubing installations requiring a no-lead, quick joint connection at both the 3/4-inch and 1-inch CTS sizes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before removing or installing any inline fitting. Ensure CTS tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely, and that tubing is fully inserted to the required depth before engaging the quick joint mechanism. Do not over-bend or stress the tubing at the fitting connection after assembly.
