Product Description

The FORD METER BOX retro-2cvbhc-nl is a no-lead Meter Retrosetter designed for residential and light commercial water meter installations. This Style C unit stands 4.75 inches high and combines a 5/8 x 3/4 inch ball valve with a 3/4 inch cartridge dual check valve into a single compact assembly.
