Ford Meter Box f500-4-nl 1 in No-lead Corp Stop Mip X Mip

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX f500-4-nl is a 1-inch no-lead corporation stop in a key style configuration, threaded male iron pipe (MIP) on both ends. Corporation stops are installed at the water main to control flow into a service line. This fitting is used at the tap point where the service line branches off the distribution main, making it a foundational component in water service installations. The no-lead construction meets federal and state drinking water compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers and water utility crews install this fitting during new service taps and service line replacements.

This corporation stop is suited for residential and light commercial water service connections. The key style valve body allows operation with a standard corporation stop key, which is the typical tool used by utility and plumbing crews for shutoff at the main. The 1-inch MIP by 1-inch MIP thread configuration connects directly to the tapped saddle or main fitting on the inlet side and to the service line fitting on the outlet side. It is intended for buried, direct-tap water service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water utility technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. The water main must be shut down or a wet tap procedure must be followed before installing the corporation stop. Do not overtighten the MIP threads; use appropriate thread sealant rated for potable water service. Confirm local lead-free compliance requirements before installation in any potable water system.
