Ford Meter Box vbhc74-24w-11-44-nl 1 in No-lead Copper Meter Setter

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbhc74-24w-11-44-nl is a 1-inch no-lead copper meter setter designed for water meter installations in residential and light commercial service lines. This unit incorporates a 3/4-inch by 1-inch ball valve, a dual cartridge check valve, and stands 24 inches high with a horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet configuration. The double-purpose inlet and outlet connections on both ends support flexible installation orientations. Licensed plumbers and utility contractors install this setter as part of a metered water service assembly.

This meter setter is suited for potable water service installations where lead-free compliance is required under applicable plumbing codes. The horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientation is common in pit-set meter installations where the service line enters and exits at grade or in a meter box. The dual cartridge check valve protects the distribution system from backflow without requiring a separate inline device. The 24-inch height accommodates standard meter pit depths found in residential service applications.

Key Features

• No-lead construction meets lead-free requirements for potable water systems
• Integrated 3/4-inch by 1-inch ball valve for service shutoff at the meter
• Dual cartridge check valve provides backflow protection in a single assembly
• 24-inch height fits standard residential meter pit installations
• Horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet configuration for in-line pit-set service runs
• Double-purpose 1-inch connections on both inlet and outlet ends

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 1-inch copper water service meter setter assemblies requiring no-lead, horizontal-flow configuration with integrated check valve and ball valve.
