Ford Meter Box ufr1400-da-4-i 4 in Pipe Restraint

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX ufr1400-da-4-i is a 4-inch pipe restraint coupling in the 1400 series, designed to mechanically lock pipe joints and prevent axial separation under pressure. This fitting is an imported accessory-grade component used in water distribution and municipal utility piping systems. It provides a secure, restrained connection that resists thrust forces at changes in direction, tees, and dead ends. Licensed plumbers, waterworks contractors, and utility crews install this type of restraint coupling as part of pressure pipe infrastructure work where joint integrity is critical.

This restraint coupling is suited for 4-inch diameter pipe installations in residential, commercial, and municipal water main applications. It is typically used where mechanical joint restraint is required by project specifications or local code, including new main installations, service lateral connections, and repair work on existing distribution systems. The accessory designation indicates this unit is intended to complement a primary fitting or valve assembly in the pipeline system.

Key Features

• 4-inch nominal pipe size for direct fit to standard 4-inch water main piping
• 1400 series restraint design provides mechanical resistance to joint pullout under pressure
• Accessory-grade imported component for use alongside primary fittings or valves
• Approximate weight of 11 pounds consistent with cast or ductile iron construction typical of this product class

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or accessory coupling for 4-inch mechanical joint pipe assemblies in waterworks distribution systems. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified waterworks contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and AWWA standards. Depressurize and isolate the affected pipeline section before beginning work. Follow the manufacturer torque sequence for gland bolts using appropriate mechanical joint installation tools. Do not exceed the rated working pressure of the restraint assembly for the pipe class being joined.
