Ford Meter Box ptp-br E-read Plug with Ert Bracket

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX ptp-br is a plastic electronic-read plug with an ERT (encoder receiver transmitter) mounting bracket. This assembly is used in water meter applications to allow remote reading equipment to interface directly with the meter register. The plastic construction keeps the assembly lightweight at 0.02 pounds, making it easy to handle during installation. Water utility technicians and licensed plumbers install this component when equipping or retrofitting meters for automated meter reading (AMR) systems.

This plug and bracket set is suited for residential and light commercial water metering installations where ERT-based remote reading capability is required. It is typically installed at the meter pit or vault during new meter set-up or when upgrading an existing meter register to support drive-by or fixed-network AMR reading. The bracket secures the ERT module in the correct position relative to the meter register.

Key Features

• Plastic construction for corrosion resistance and lightweight handling
• Integrated ERT mounting bracket keeps the encoder receiver transmitter properly positioned
• Designed for use in water meter remote-read applications
• Available in a box quantity of 25 units for multi-meter job requirements

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or water utility technicians. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before servicing the meter or register assembly. Follow local utility specifications and applicable plumbing codes when interfacing AMR components with the meter register. Do not overtighten the plug, as plastic threads can be damaged by excessive force.
