Ford Meter Box t444-333-q-nl 3/4 Inch Cts Quick Joint Tee No Lead

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX t444-333-q-nl is a no-lead tee fitting designed for copper tube size (CTS) piping systems. It features three Quick Joint (QJ) connections: a 3/4 inch CTS Quick Joint inlet, a 3/4 inch CTS Quick Joint run outlet, and a 3/4 inch CTS Quick Joint side outlet. The Quick Joint design allows for tool-free, push-to-connect installation, reducing labor time on service and repair calls. The no-lead construction meets federal and state safe drinking water requirements, making it suitable for potable water distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and waterworks contractors are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee fitting is used in residential and commercial water service and distribution piping where CTS tubing is present. It is well suited for meter setting applications, service line repairs, and branch connections in copper or polyethylene tubing systems. The push-to-connect Quick Joint ends eliminate the need for soldering, compression tools, or crimping equipment at the connection points, making it a practical choice for tight-space installs and quick service restoration.
