Ford Meter Box c84-33-u-nl 3/4 Inch Mip X Cts Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c84-33-u-nl is a no-lead, Ultra-Tite coupling designed to connect 3/4-inch male iron pipe thread (MIP) to 3/4-inch copper tube size (CTS) polyethylene pipe. This fitting is built for water service applications where lead-free compliance is required by code. The Ultra-Tite design provides a secure mechanical connection without the need for solder or adhesive, making it well suited for direct-bury PE pipe installations. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians use this coupling when transitioning between threaded iron or brass service lines and flexible PE supply pipe in residential and light commercial meter sets.

This coupling is a standard component in water service line work, particularly at meter settings and curb stop connections where a MIP-to-CTS transition is needed. It is appropriate for below-grade direct-bury installations with PE pipe meeting applicable water service standards. The no-lead construction satisfies federal and state lead-free plumbing requirements for potable water systems.

Key Features

• No-lead construction meets federal lead-free requirements for potable water use
• Ultra-Tite mechanical design creates a secure connection without solder or adhesive
• 3/4-inch MIP inlet threads onto iron, brass, or steel fittings and valves
• 3/4-inch CTS outlet accepts polyethylene PE water service pipe
• Suitable for direct-bury water service applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style transition fitting for water service installations using 3/4-inch CTS polyethylene pipe connected to 3/4-inch male iron pipe thread fittings, valves, or meter hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or water service technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water service at the curb stop before making any connections. Ensure PE pipe is cut cleanly and squarely and inserted to the full depth required by the fitting design. Do not overtighten threaded connections; use appropriate thread sealant rated for potable water on the MIP threads.
