Ford Meter Box vbh76-21b-11-66-nl Flanged Meter Setter

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbh76-21b-11-66-nl is a 1.5-inch flanged CopperSetter 70 meter setter designed for water meter installations in municipal and utility service lines. This no-lead assembly combines a flanged ball valve with an integrated check valve and bypass in a single unit. The inlet and outlet are both 1.5-inch FIP connections, and the setter stands 21 inches high with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientation. At 26 pounds, this is a substantial cast unit built for in-ground service applications. Licensed plumbers and utility contractors install this type of assembly during water meter changeouts and new service connections.

The vbh76-21b-11-66-nl is suited for residential and light commercial water meter settings where a flanged connection style is specified. The horizontal-in, horizontal-out configuration fits standard meter pit layouts. The integrated bypass allows meter service or replacement without a full service shutoff, reducing disruption during maintenance. The no-lead construction meets regulatory requirements for potable water system components where lead-free materials are mandated.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or utility contractors in accordance with local plumbing codes and applicable AWWA standards.
