Ford Meter Box vbb77-24hb-11-77-nl 2 in Copper Setter Ball Valve

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbb77-24hb-11-77-nl is a 2-inch flanged copper setter designed for water meter installations. It features a no-lead ball valve by ball valve configuration standing 24 inches high with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet connections. The unit includes a high bypass assembly and terminates in 2-inch female iron pipe (FIP) connections on both ends. At 46.4 pounds, this is a heavy-duty commercial-grade setter built for direct burial meter service. It is installed by licensed plumbers and water utility contractors in metered water service applications.

This copper setter is suited for residential and commercial water meter settings where a flanged connection is required. The horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientation fits standard in-line meter pit configurations. The integrated high bypass valve allows flow to continue through the bypass circuit during meter service or replacement without fully interrupting supply. The 24-inch height accommodates typical meter pit depth requirements common in municipal and utility installations.

Key Features

• No-lead construction meets federal and state lead-free drinking water requirements

• Horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet (HZ IN, HZ OUT) configuration for in-line meter pit installations
