Ford Meter Box ufr1390-c-10-i 10 Inch Split Bell Restraint

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX ufr1390-c-10-i is a 10-inch split bell restraint and impression coupling designed for mechanical joint pipe connections in water distribution and transmission systems. The split bell design allows the fitting to be installed around an existing pipe without full disassembly of the line, making it a practical solution for field repairs and tie-ins. At approximately 48 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting intended for permanent, pressure-rated installations. Licensed plumbers, water utility contractors, and municipal waterworks crews are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This fitting is suited for use in underground water main applications, municipal distribution systems, and industrial piping where a restrained mechanical joint connection is required at a 10-inch pipe diameter. The restraint feature resists axial thrust forces that would otherwise cause joint separation under operating pressure, making it appropriate for unrestrained pipe runs, directional changes, and termination points where thrust blocks are not used or are impractical.

Key Features

• Split bell construction allows installation around existing pipe without full line disassembly
• Integrated restraint and impression design resists axial thrust and joint separation under pressure
• 10-inch nominal size suits standard water main and transmission pipe
• Heavy-duty construction rated for permanent, pressure-bearing service
• Approximate weight of 48 pounds indicates substantial iron or ductile iron construction typical of this fitting class

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style restraint coupling for 10-inch mechanical joint pipe connections in municipal water distribution and transmission piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified waterworks contractor in accordance with local municipal standards and applicable plumbing codes. Depressurize and isolate the affected pipe section before beginning any mechanical joint work. Torque all fasteners per the fitting manufacturer's published specifications and verify gasket seating before returning the line to service. Refer to local authority having jurisdiction requirements for thrust restraint and joint inspection on pressurized water mains.
