Ford Meter Box vbhh77-21b-1177tp6nl 2 in Flanged Copper Setter

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vbhh77-21b-1177tp6nl is a 2-inch flanged no-lead copper setter designed for water meter installation in municipal and commercial plumbing systems. This unit integrates a 2-inch flanged ball valve with a dual check valve assembly, providing shutoff and backflow protection in a single manifold. The setter stands 21 inches high with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet connections and includes a built-in bypass. Connections are 2-inch FIP by 2-inch FIP with a TP6 test port configuration. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this type of assembly when setting residential or light commercial water meters at the service entrance.

This copper setter is suited for direct-bury or vault-style meter installations where a flanged, no-lead-compliant assembly is required by municipal specification. The horizontal-in, horizontal-out flow path accommodates standard meter box orientations. The integrated bypass allows meter swaps without full service interruption. The TP6 test port supports field testing of the dual check valve without disassembly. This configuration is commonly specified on potable water systems subject to local lead-free materials requirements under state and federal plumbing codes.
