Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbhc74-21w-11-44-nl is a 1-inch no-lead coppersetter meter setter designed for water meter installations in municipal and residential service line applications. This unit features a 3/4-inch by 1-inch ball valve paired with a dual cartridge check valve, providing shutoff and backflow protection in a single assembly. At 21 inches in height with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet configurations, it fits standard pit-style meter settings. The 1-inch double-purpose by 1-inch double-purpose end connections accommodate flexible service line hookups. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors are the primary installers of this type of equipment.

This coppersetter is suited for potable water metering installations where no-lead compliance is required under applicable plumbing codes. The horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientation makes it appropriate for typical underground meter pit installations. The integrated ball valve allows full-flow shutoff at the meter, and the dual cartridge check valve protects the distribution system from backflow. It is commonly installed in residential and light commercial water service applications where a compact, code-compliant meter setter is needed.
