Ford Meter Box fb1101-7-idr7-nl 2 in Ball Corp Stop Mip X Pe

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX fb1101-7-idr7-nl is a 2-inch no-lead ball corporation stop designed for potable water service line connections. It features a male iron pipe thread (MIP) inlet on one end and a 2-inch IDR-7 polyethylene (PE) pipe pack joint outlet on the other. Corporation stops of this type are installed at the water main tap to control flow into the service line. The no-lead brass construction meets federal and state drinking water regulations. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and water utility contractors during new water service installations or service line replacements. At 9.41 pounds, this is a substantial brass fitting built for long-term underground service.

This corporation stop is used in residential and light commercial water service applications where a polyethylene service line connects to a municipal water main. The MIP end threads directly into a drilled and tapped saddle or main tee, while the IDR-7 pack joint end grips and seals onto compatible PE pipe without the need for additional compression sleeves. It is a common choice for utility contractors and plumbers running PE service lines from the curb stop or meter pit back to the main.

Key Features

• 2-inch male iron pipe thread (MIP) inlet for direct main connection
• 2-inch IDR-7 PE pipe pack joint outlet for polyethylene service line
• No-lead brass construction compliant with federal drinking water standards
• Ball valve mechanism provides full-flow shutoff capability
• Pack joint end eliminates need for separate insert fittings on compatible PE pipe

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2-inch IDR-7 polyethylene (PE) pipe on the pack joint end and standard 2-inch male iron pipe thread connections on the inlet end. Consult applicable local water authority specifications to confirm approved use in your jurisdiction.

Installation Notes

Installation of corporation stops must be performed by a licensed plumber or certified water utility contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and water authority requirements. Shut off the water main and depressurize the line before installing or servicing this fitting. Ensure the MIP threads are properly sealed with thread sealant rated for potable water service. The pack joint end requires the PE pipe to be cut square and fully inserted to achieve a proper seal — do not overtighten the pack joint nut beyond hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns.
