Ford Meter Box l66-44-nl 1 in 90 Elbow Pe Pipe Fitting

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX l66-44-nl is a no-lead, 90-degree elbow fitting designed for use with 1-inch polyethylene (PE) pipe. It connects two PE pipe runs at a right angle using a pack joint (compression-style) connection on both ends, eliminating the need for solvent cement or heat fusion tools. This fitting is intended for potable water service lines and is sized for 1-inch PE pipe on both the inlet and outlet. Licensed plumbers and utility contractors install this type of fitting during water service installations and repairs where directional changes in underground PE pipe runs are required.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial water service applications, particularly in buried or direct-buried installations where PE pipe transitions or changes direction. The pack joint design allows for fast, field-assembly connections without specialized fusion equipment. It is commonly installed on cold water service laterals running from the main to the meter box or point of entry. No lead construction makes it appropriate for potable water systems subject to lead-free compliance requirements under applicable plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or utility service technicians. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into an existing PE pipe run.
