Ford Meter Box c66-55-nl No Lead Coupling 1-1/4 Inch

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c66-55-nl is a no-lead coupling designed for joining polyethylene (PE) pipe in underground potable water service applications. It connects 1-1/4 inch extra strong (XS) pack joint ends, accepting either 1-1/4 inch XS pack joint or 1-1/4 inch PE pipe pack joint on each side. This fitting is built to meet no-lead requirements for use in drinking water systems. Licensed plumbers and water service contractors install this type of coupling when making in-line connections on residential or light commercial water service lines.

This coupling is used in underground water service installations where polyethylene pipe transitions or in-line connections are required. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial potable water distribution at standard service line pressures. The pack joint ends allow for a secure mechanical connection without soldering or threading, making it a practical choice for direct-bury PE pipe runs. This part is also cataloged as Q2Q2-55 by alternate designation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC standards.

Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and fully inserted to the required depth before tightening pack joint nuts. Do not overtighten fittings, as this can damage the PE pipe or ferrule seat.
