Ford Meter Box qjn4-4-tw 1 Inch Cts Quick Joint Nut

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX qjn4-4-tw is a complete quick joint nut designed for 1-inch CTS (Copper Tube Size) pipe connections. It features integrated tracer wire holes, allowing installers to route and secure tracer wire at the joint during assembly. This fitting is used in underground water service line installations where locating wire must be maintained continuously through each connection point. Plumbers and water service technicians working on municipal and residential water main taps typically install this component.

This quick joint nut is suited for residential and light commercial water service applications where CTS pipe is joined using push-together or compression-style quick joint fittings. The tracer wire hole integration makes it particularly well-suited for new construction and service replacement work where utility locating compliance is required. It is installed at the point of connection where the 1-inch CTS line is terminated or coupled.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or water service contractors following applicable local plumbing codes and utility requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or replacing any joint nut. Ensure tracer wire is seated properly through the designated holes before fully tightening the nut. Do not overtighten, as CTS fittings have defined engagement limits to prevent seat damage.
