Ford Meter Box css1-33-nl 3/4 Fip Swivel Coppersetter Fitting

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX css1-33-nl is a no-lead swivel fitting designed to connect a 3/4-inch female iron pipe (FIP) thread to a 3/4-inch female coppersetter port. This type of swivel connection allows the fitting to rotate during installation, reducing stress on the pipeline and making alignment easier in tight meter pits or vault installations. The no-lead construction meets drinking water compliance requirements, making it appropriate for potable water service applications. Licensed plumbers and water utility installers typically use this fitting when setting or replacing residential and light commercial water meters.

This fitting is used in water meter installations where a coppersetter interfaces with an iron pipe threaded service line. The swivel design is particularly useful in confined meter pit environments where rigid connections are difficult to align. It is suited for residential water service assemblies and is commonly installed by utility contractors, journeyman plumbers, and meter service technicians working on cold water distribution systems.
