Ford Meter Box FSC-350-3 Stainless Steel Snap Clamp

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX FSC-350-3 is a stainless steel snap clamp designed to repair small leaks on 3-inch pipe. The clamp body measures 3 inches in length and uses a drop-in bolt design that keeps bolts attached to the clamp body, eliminating loose hardware in the ditch during installation. A heavy-grid gasket extends lug to lug for a reliable seal across the repair zone. This type of clamp is a standard tool for water main and service line repairs performed by plumbers, utility contractors, and public works crews.

The FSC-350-3 is suited for residential and municipal water distribution applications where a fast, field-ready repair is needed on a 3-inch line. Its snap clamp configuration allows for quick positioning over the leak point without disassembling bolt hardware, making it practical for wet or confined excavation conditions. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in buried or exposed service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or utility line technicians. Shut off system pressure and isolate the affected line segment before positioning the clamp over the leak. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and AWWA standards for pipe repair procedures. Inspect the pipe surface at the repair zone and remove debris before seating the gasket to ensure a proper seal.
