Ford Meter Box c46-33-q-nl Coupling 3/4 in Cts X Pe Quick Joint

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c46-33-q-nl is a no-lead coupling designed to connect 3/4-inch CTS (Copper Tube Size) tubing to 3/4-inch PE (polyethylene) pipe using a Quick Joint connection on both ends. This fitting eliminates the need for solvent cement, compression tools, or threaded assembly, allowing for fast, reliable field connections. At 1.30 pounds, it is a compact yet durable waterworks fitting suited for potable water service line work. Licensed plumbers and utility contractors install this coupling in underground service line applications where transitions between CTS and PE pipe materials are required.

This coupling is intended for water service line installations, particularly where a CTS line meets a PE main or lateral run. The Quick Joint design on both sides speeds up installation in trench conditions and reduces the number of tools required on the job. It is well suited for residential and light commercial potable water service work where no-lead compliance is required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified utility contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable AWWA standards.

Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely and that all debris is cleared from the pipe before seating the Quick Joint ends fully.
