Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vhc74-21w-11-44-nl is a 1-inch no-lead Coppersetter 70 meter setter designed for water meter installations in residential and light commercial service lines. The unit features a key valve combined with a dual cartridge check valve assembly, providing both shutoff and backflow prevention in a single inline package. Standing 21 inches high with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet connections, this setter uses 1-inch double-purpose end fittings on both the inlet and outlet sides. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this type of fitting as the primary interface between the service line and the water meter. It weighs approximately 13 pounds.

This coppersetter is intended for potable water meter pit or vault installations where a horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet configuration is required. The no-lead construction meets safe drinking water requirements for use in potable water systems. The dual cartridge check valve integrated into the body provides backflow protection without the need for a separate inline check device, simplifying the meter set assembly and reducing the number of joints in the pit.
