Product Description

The FORD METER BOX vhh77-18b-11-77-nl is a 2-inch flanged meter setter designed for water meter installation in municipal and utility service applications. This unit features a key valve combined with a dual check valve assembly and an integrated bypass, making it a complete service setting package. The setter stands 18 inches high with horizontal inlet and horizontal outlet orientations and is built to a no-lead construction standard, meeting potable water compliance requirements. End connections are 2-inch FIP by 2-inch FIP. At 33.25 pounds, it is sized for commercial or larger residential service installations. Licensed plumbers and utility crews performing meter set work will find this a self-contained assembly ready for direct installation.

This meter setter is intended for use in water meter pit or vault installations where a 2-inch flanged meter connection is required. The dual check valve provides backflow prevention at the meter set, and the bypass valve allows the water service to remain in operation during meter exchange or maintenance without a full service interruption. The horizontal in and horizontal out configuration suits typical straight-run meter pit layouts found in both municipal distribution systems and commercial building services.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified utility contractor in accordance with local plumbing codes and water authority requirements. Shut off the upstream curb stop and bleed line pressure before beginning any disassembly or connection work. Confirm pit or vault dimensions accommodate the 18-inch setter height and that the horizontal in and out orientations align with the existing service line run. Inspect all FIP threads and flanged faces for damage before making final connections and verify no-lead compliance with the local authority having jurisdiction.
