Midland Industries 970258 Water Meter Coupling 2in Npt

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 970258 is a lead-free brass water meter coupling designed to connect water meters in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. It features a 2-inch male NPT inlet and a 2-1/4-inch female NPSM outlet, providing a secure, leak-resistant transition at the meter set. Rated to 150 psi, this coupling handles standard municipal supply pressures without issue. The lead-free brass construction meets current potable water standards, making it suitable for use in drinking water applications. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors install this fitting during meter set installations and replacements.

This coupling is used in water meter installations where a standard NPT-to-NPSM transition is required at the meter body. It is commonly found in residential meter pits, basement meter sets, and light commercial service entries. The fitting bridges the meter inlet connection to the service line, and its lead-free rating makes it appropriate for new construction and retrofit projects subject to current plumbing codes requiring lead-free materials in potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the main water supply and depressurize the line before removing the existing coupling or meter. Apply thread sealant rated for potable water service to NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten NPSM connections, as the thread form is designed for a hand-tight plus wrench-assist fit.
