Ford Meter Box ufr1400-da-12-i 12 Inch Restrained Coupling

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX ufr1400-da-12-i is a 12-inch 1400 Series restrained pipe coupling accessory used in water distribution and municipal utility piping systems. Designed to provide mechanical restraint at pipe joints, this fitting resists longitudinal thrust forces that develop under pressure, keeping joints secure without relying solely on soil friction or thrust blocks. At 35 pounds, the unit is a substantial, full-size fitting suited for mainline waterworks installations. Licensed plumbers, utility contractors, and waterworks crews are the typical installers for this class of fitting.

This fitting is applied in 12-inch diameter pipe runs where restrained joint connections are specified by the engineer of record. It is commonly used in municipal water mains, industrial process piping, and large-diameter site utility work where joint restraint is required by design or local code. The imported designation indicates the fitting is sourced internationally. The accessory classification indicates this component works in conjunction with a primary coupling or joint assembly rather than functioning as a standalone repair coupling.

Key Features

• 12-inch nominal pipe size for mainline waterworks and large-diameter utility applications
• 1400 Series restrained design resists axial thrust forces at pressurized pipe joints
• Accessory component engineered to complement compatible 1400 Series coupling assemblies
• Approximate weight of 35 pounds reflects heavy-duty, full-size construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style accessory for 12-inch 1400 Series restrained pipe coupling assemblies used in municipal and industrial waterworks piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of restrained pipe couplings and accessories on pressurized water mains must be performed by licensed plumbers or certified waterworks contractors in accordance with applicable local codes and AWWA standards. The system must be fully depressurized and the line isolated before any joint work begins. Follow the coupling manufacturer's assembly sequence for restraint hardware to achieve rated joint performance. Do not use impact tools on restraint components unless explicitly permitted by the manufacturer's installation guide.
