A Convenient and Durable Setting for Water Meters - The Ford Yoke

Ford Yokes provide a convenient and durable setting for water meters and make meter changeouts easier. They also provide substantial savings over meter couplings, valves, curb boxes and pipe fittings, which are eliminated in many cases. Ford Yokes provide many advantages including:

ACCESSIBILITY - Meter changes with Ford Yokes are quick and trouble-free. Meters tend to be better maintained, kept more accurate and utilized more efficiently when easily available. Readily available meters, in Ford Yokes, earn more for the water utility.

SAFETY - The strong iron yoke piece becomes a permanent part of the piping structure, holding the inlet and outlet pipes, of whatever material, braced and correctly spaced.

SECURITY - When a meter is removed from a Ford Yoke, the Expansion Connection is removed also. Since an Expansion Connection is required to complete the installation the service is automatically sealed, preventing the unauthorized use of water.|

STABILITY - Stability with proper spacing and alignment to support the water meter and the water lines.

VERSATILITY - Ford Yokes include a variety of valve styles at either the inlet or outlet. Being close-coupled to the Yoke piece, the valves are easily inspected and operated. Angle yoke valves and ells can be rotated to connect to piping from below, from above or from behind.
