Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this fitting as a direct interface between the service line and the water meter, providing shutoff capability and a precise meter connection point.

Installation Notes

Installation of meter setters is typically performed by licensed plumbers or water utility technicians in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water service at the curb stop before beginning any work, and verify the meter pit is clear of standing water. Do not overtighten compression or plain tube connections, as this can deform the fitting ends. Always confirm local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) approval for no-lead fitting requirements before installation.
