Ford Meter Box vbhh77-18-11-77-nl 2 in Flanged Meter Coppersetter

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbhh77-18-11-77-nl is a 2-inch flanged meter coppersetter designed for water meter installation in municipal and commercial water distribution systems. This no-lead assembly integrates a flanged ball valve with a dual check valve, providing shutoff and backflow prevention in a single unit. The horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet configuration supports in-line meter settings with 18 inches of height clearance. At approximately 34 pounds, this is a heavy-duty fitting suited for licensed plumbers and utility contractors working on metered water service connections.

This coppersetter is used in residential and commercial meter pit or vault installations where a flanged, no-lead compliant assembly is required. The 2-inch FIP by 2-inch FIP end connections accommodate standard female iron pipe threading on both inlet and outlet sides. The horizontal inlet and outlet orientation suits direct in-line meter setting applications without requiring additional fittings to redirect flow. Utility contractors and journeyman plumbers typically specify this style of coppersetter when installing or replacing water meters in compliance with local water authority requirements.
