Ford Meter Box c84-44-u-nl 1 Inch Mip X Cts Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX c84-44-u-nl is a no-lead, Ultra-Tite transition coupling designed to connect 1-inch Male Iron Pipe Thread (MIP) fittings to 1-inch CTS polyethylene (PE) pipe. This fitting is built for potable water service lines where lead-free compliance is required under NSF and Safe Drinking Water Act standards. The Ultra-Tite design provides a mechanical grip on the PE pipe, creating a secure, pull-resistant connection without soldering or adhesive. Licensed plumbers and water service technicians install this fitting during new service installations and meter-set replacements.

This coupling is used in underground water service applications where a threaded iron pipe connection meets a CTS PE supply line. Typical installations include residential and light commercial service line connections at meter pits, curb stops, and meter box assemblies. The MIP inlet threads onto a corporation stop, meter valve, or threaded fitting, while the CTS end grips soft PE tubing. It is well-suited for new construction and service line replacement projects where no-lead compliance is required by local plumbing code.

Key Features

• No-lead construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for potable water service
• Ultra-Tite mechanical grip secures CTS PE pipe without additional clamps or adhesive
• 1-inch MIP inlet threads onto standard corporation stops, meter valves, and threaded fittings
• 1-inch CTS outlet is compatible with standard polyethylene service line tubing
• Compact and lightweight at 0.72 pounds for easy handling in tight meter pits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style transition fitting for 1-inch MIP to 1-inch CTS polyethylene pipe connections in potable water service line applications.

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 supply and depressurize the line before making any connections. Ensure the PE pipe end is cut cleanly and squarely before inserting it into the CTS end of the coupling. Do not overtighten the MIP thread connection, as this can damage the fitting body.
