Ford Meter Box fb1100-3-tw-q-nl Ball Corp Stop 3/4 in Mip Cts

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX fb1100-3-tw-q-nl is a 3/4-inch ball corporation stop designed for water service connections. It features a male iron pipe thread (MIP) inlet and a copper tube size (CTS) quick joint outlet, making it suitable for transitioning between threaded iron mains and copper or CTS service lines. The fitting is manufactured to a no-lead standard, meeting regulatory requirements for potable water systems. Tracer wire holes are incorporated into the body, allowing service technicians to route locating wire alongside the service line without additional fittings. This corporation stop is installed by licensed plumbers and water utility contractors.

This ball corporation stop is used in residential and light commercial water service installations, typically at the tap point on a water main. The MIP inlet threads directly into a tapped main, while the CTS quick joint outlet connects to the service line running to the meter. The tracer wire hole feature makes this fitting well suited for installations where underground line locating is required by code or utility specification. It is a single-unit fitting appropriate for new construction and service replacement work.

Installation Notes

Installation of corporation stops is performed by licensed plumbers or water utility contractors in accordance with local plumbing codes and utility standards, typically referencing IPC or AWWA guidelines. Shut off water main pressure and comply with local hot-tap or wet-tap procedures before making the main connection. Use appropriate corporation stop insertion tools for the CTS quick joint outlet to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten the MIP threads into the main saddle or tee.
