Ford Meter Box c46-34-g-nl Cts X Pe Grip Joint Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c46-34-g-nl is a no-lead transition coupling designed to connect 3/4 inch CTS (copper tube size) pipe using a grip joint end to 1 inch PE (polyethylene) pipe using a grip joint end. The grip joint design provides a secure, pull-resistant mechanical connection without the need for soldering, gluing, or special tooling. This fitting is built to no-lead standards, making it suitable for potable water service applications where lead-free compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians typically install this coupling in underground or direct-bury service line work.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial water service applications where a transition between CTS and PE pipe is needed. Common install scenarios include meter set connections, curb stop replacements, and service line repairs where CTS tubing meets PE distribution pipe. The grip joint ends accommodate field cuts without requiring precision machining, making it practical for service and repair work at the meter box or main connection point.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style transition fitting for water service applications requiring a connection between 3/4 inch CTS and 1 inch polyethylene pipe with grip joint ends.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or water service technicians. Shut off the water main and relieve line pressure before cutting into any existing service pipe. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and squarely for proper grip joint seating and verify that the pipe outside diameter matches the fitting specification before assembly. Follow local plumbing codes and authority having jurisdiction requirements for potable water service line work.
