Ford Meter Box vbhh76-21b-11-66-nl Coppersetter 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbhh76-21b-11-66-nl is a 1-1/2-inch no-lead Coppersetter meter setter designed for flanged water meter installations. This assembly integrates a flanged ball valve with a dual check valve in a single unit, standing 21 inches high with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet connections. It includes an integral bypass and terminates in 1-1/2-inch FIP by 1-1/2-inch FIP end connections. Weighing 29.20 pounds, this setter is built for municipal and commercial water service applications where no-lead compliance is required. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors are the primary installers of this type of equipment.

This meter setter is suited for residential and light commercial water meter installations requiring a flanged connection interface. The horizontal-in, horizontal-out flow path accommodates typical pit or vault installations. The integrated bypass allows meter removal and service without interrupting water supply to the structure. The dual check valve provides backflow protection as part of the assembly, reducing the need for a separate backflow preventer in applicable jurisdictions.
