Practical applications and tips
Use this meter coupling when you need to join a 1/2" MIP supply line to a 1/2" FIP meter, valve, or piping component. It’s a practical choice for replacing worn or damaged meter connectors on residential water lines, or when retrofitting connections in existing systems.
