Ford Meter Box fb1000-4-tw-q-nl 1 in Ball Corp Stop No Lead

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX fb1000-4-tw-q-nl is a 1-inch no-lead ball corporation stop designed for water service connections in municipal and residential distribution systems. This fitting features an AWWA/CC taper thread inlet and a CTS Quick Joint outlet, making it compatible with standard meter setting configurations. A built-in tracer wire hole supports locating and tracking buried service lines, a requirement common in modern utility installations. At 2.0 pounds, it is a compact, field-ready fitting installed by licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors working under applicable plumbing and utility codes.

This corporation stop is used at the water main tap point to control flow into the service line. The AWWA/CC taper thread connection mates with standard corporation stop taps drilled into cast iron, ductile iron, or PVC mains. The CTS Quick Joint outlet connects directly to copper tubing service lines. It is suited for residential and light commercial water service installations where no-lead compliance is required by state or local code.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or waterworks contractors in accordance with local plumbing codes and AWWA standards.
