Ford Meter Box vhh76-21b-11-66-nl Coppersetter Meter Setter

Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vhh76-21b-11-66-nl is a 1-1/2-inch flanged meter setter designed for water meter installations requiring a no-lead-compliant configuration. Known as the Coppersetter 70 series, this unit stands 21 inches high and is configured with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet. It combines a flanged key valve with a dual check valve and includes a built-in bypass. End connections are 1-1/2-inch FIP by 1-1/2-inch FIP. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this type of setter in residential and light commercial water service applications where code requires no-lead materials.

This meter setter is used in potable water service line installations where a flanged meter must be set at grade or in a meter pit. The horizontal-in, horizontal-out configuration suits direct in-line runs without offset. The integrated dual check valve provides backflow resistance at the meter set, and the bypass valve allows system flow to continue during meter service or replacement. The 1-1/2-inch FIP connections accommodate standard threaded copper or iron service piping at this size.
