Ford Meter Box vb44-10w-nl 1 in Meter Resetter Ball Valve

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vb44-10w-nl is a 1-inch meter resetter designed for water meter service applications. This no-lead assembly integrates a 3/4-inch ball valve with plain tube connections and stands 10 inches high. It provides a reliable means for water utility and plumbing contractors to restore meter service after shutoff, maintain shutoff capability at the meter, and meet lead-free compliance requirements for potable water systems. Weighing approximately 7.0 pounds, the unit is built for field installation in residential and light commercial water service applications.

This meter resetter is used in potable water metering applications where a combination shutoff and service-restoration assembly is required. The integrated ball valve allows the technician to isolate the meter during service without a separate valve installation. The plain tube end connections are compatible with standard compression or soldered fittings used in typical water service lateral work. Water utility contractors, licensed plumbers, and meter service technicians are the primary installers of this assembly.

Key Features

• No-lead construction for compliance with potable water lead-free requirements
• Integrated 3/4-inch ball valve provides inline shutoff capability
• Plain tube connections accept standard compression or solder fittings
• 10-inch height suits standard meter pit and vault installations
• 1-inch nominal size fits common residential water service lateral sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch residential and light commercial water meter service assemblies requiring a no-lead resetter with integral ball valve.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified water utility technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable AWWA standards. Shut off the water service lateral and depressurize the line before removing any existing meter or resetter assembly. Verify that all fittings and joint compounds used are rated for potable water service and meet local lead-free requirements. Inspect plain tube ends for damage before making final connections.
