Ford Meter Box c55-77-nl 2 in Iron Pipe Coupling No Lead

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c55-77-nl is a no-lead iron pipe pack joint coupling designed for connecting two 2-inch iron pipe sections in water service and distribution applications. This coupling uses a pack joint end configuration on both sides, creating a reliable mechanical connection without soldering, threading, or special tooling. At 4.13 pounds per unit, it is built for durability in buried or inline waterworks installations. The no-lead construction meets drinking water safety requirements, making it suitable for potable water systems. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors are the typical installers for this fitting in municipal and residential water service work.

This coupling is used in water main connections, service lateral repairs, and inline pipe joining where a 2-inch iron pipe size is required. The pack joint design allows for a push-style mechanical connection that seals against the pipe exterior, simplifying field installation in tight or wet conditions. It is commonly used in residential and light commercial water service applications where no-lead compliance is required for potable water contact.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or waterworks contractors following applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water service line before disassembly or fitting installation. Ensure pipe ends are clean and free of debris before seating the pack joint to achieve a proper seal. Do not overtighten mechanical joint components beyond manufacturer instructions included with the fitting.
