Ford Meter Box vbhh76-18b-11-66-nl Coppersetter 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbhh76-18b-11-66-nl is a 1-1/2-inch flanged CopperSetter 70 meter setter designed for water metering applications in municipal and commercial water service installations. This no-lead-compliant unit features an integrated flanged ball valve paired with a dual check valve assembly, providing both shutoff and backflow prevention in a single assembly. The unit is configured with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet connections and includes a built-in bypass. It measures 18 inches in height and connects via 1-1/2-inch FIP on both the inlet and outlet sides. Weighing approximately 29 pounds, this assembly is built for permanent in-line meter set installations serviced by licensed plumbers and water utility contractors.

This meter setter is suited for residential and light commercial water service lines where a 1-1/2-inch flanged meter set configuration is required. The horizontal in, horizontal out orientation makes it appropriate for typical pit or vault installations where the meter must align with horizontal service piping. The integrated dual check valve satisfies common backflow prevention requirements at the meter location without requiring a separate device. The bypass provision allows temporary service continuity during meter maintenance or replacement.
