Ford Meter Box ufr1500-ca-8-i Mj Restraint Pvc 8 Inch

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX ufr1500-ca-8-i is an 8-inch Uni-Flange mechanical joint restraint designed for PVC pipe, supplied with accessories. It prevents pipe pullout at mechanical joint connections by gripping the pipe exterior and locking it against the gland, maintaining joint integrity under pressure. The restraint is rated to 305 PSI and features an epoxy-coated gland for corrosion resistance. Hardware is alloy steel. Waterworks contractors, municipal utility crews, and licensed plumbers install this fitting in water main and distribution system work where PVC pipe must be secured at valves, fittings, and other mechanical joint connections.

This restraint is suited for 8-inch PVC pipe mechanical joint applications in potable water distribution, reclaimed water, and raw water transmission systems. It is commonly used at tees, bends, reducers, valves, and hydrant leads where thrust restraint is required. The included accessories support a complete installation without sourcing additional hardware separately. Both new construction and repair or replacement installations in municipal and contractor utility work are typical use cases.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed waterworks or utility contractors following applicable AWWA standards and local jurisdiction requirements. Depressurize and isolate the pipeline section before disassembling or assembling any mechanical joint connection. Torque all hardware evenly and in a cross pattern to the fitting manufacturer's specified values using calibrated hand tools. Do not use impact wrenches on alloy steel hardware without consulting torque specifications.
