Ford Meter Box vbh77-18-11-77-nl 2 in Coppersetter No Lead

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbh77-18-11-77-nl is a 2-inch flanged coppersetter assembly designed for water meter installation in municipal and commercial water distribution systems. This unit combines a ball valve with an integrated check valve in a single no-lead brass assembly. The configuration features horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet connections with a 2-inch FIP by 2-inch FIP end connection arrangement and stands 18 inches high. The no-lead construction meets safe drinking water requirements for potable water service. Licensed plumbers and water utility crews install this coppersetter at the meter set location between the service line and the water meter.

This coppersetter is suited for residential and commercial meter setting applications where a flanged, full-port ball valve with backflow check protection is required. The horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientation accommodates standard in-line meter pit or vault configurations. The 2-inch FIP connections allow direct threaded makeup to service piping. At 18 inches in height, this assembly fits typical pre-cast meter box depths used in municipal water service installations.
