It combines a 5\/8 inch by 3\/4 inch no-lead ball valve with a dual cartridge check valve in a single unit standing 18 inches high. Inlet and outlet connections are horizontal, and both connection ends are 3\/4 inch dual-purpose fittings. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this type of assembly to connect residential or light commercial water meters to the service line while meeting lead-free material requirements under applicable drinking water standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis meter setter is suited for residential and light commercial water service installations where a compact, all-in-one setter with integrated backflow protection is required. The horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientation is common in pit-set or vault installations. The dual cartridge check valve provides backflow prevention inline, reducing the need for a separate check valve assembly. The no-lead construction meets federal and state lead-free requirements for components in contact with potable water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-lead construction compliant with lead-free potable water requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated 5\/8 inch by 3\/4 inch no-lead ball valve for service shutoff\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDual cartridge check valve provides inline backflow protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 inch height suits standard pit or vault meter installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHorizontal inlet and horizontal outlet configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch dual-purpose connections on both inlet and outlet ends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3\/4 inch residential and light commercial potable water meter setting assemblies requiring no-lead, ball valve, and dual check valve functionality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
