A.Y. McDonald No-Lead Angle Plug Valve, CTS/Flare x Yoke

The A.Y. McDonald No-Lead Angle Plug Valve is built for rough-in and underground water service work, providing a quarter-turn shutoff at the transition point between the incoming service line and the meter yoke. This angle-pattern plug valve family is available in three inlet-connection configurations to match different service line materials and sizes: 1" CTS x Yoke, 3/4" Flare x Yoke, and 3/4" CTS x Yoke, giving contractors and utility installers the flexibility to select the exact fit for the job at hand. As an angle-pattern valve, it allows the installer to change the direction of flow at the connection while providing a positive shutoff, which is a common requirement in meter pit and meter box installations where straight-through valves simply do not fit the available space. Each configuration mates either copper tube size (CTS) piping or flare-style tubing on the inlet side with a standard meter yoke on the outlet, matching the exact pairing needed when transitioning from the buried water service line up into the meter setting assembly. Because these valves carry a no-lead designation, they are manufactured to reduced-lead-content standards, an important consideration for any component installed in a potable water service line ahead of the meter.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 3/4" and 1" nominal sizes for standard residential and light commercial water service connections.
  • Angle Configuration: Plug valve body is configured at an angle pattern, allowing the connection to change direction between the incoming service line and the outlet, simplifying routing inside meter pits and boxes.
  • Inlet Connection Options: Choose from CTS or Flare inlet connections depending on service line piping, with each size paired to a standard meter yoke outlet.
  • Plug Valve Design: Quarter-turn plug-style shutoff provides a positive, reliable on/off function at the meter yoke connection, a common configuration for water utility service installations.
  • No-Lead Construction: Manufactured to no-lead standards for use in potable water service applications ahead of the meter.
  • Manufacturer: Produced by A.Y. McDonald, matching the manufacturer's catalog family for angle plug valves used in meter yoke transitions.

A.Y. McDonald 5124046 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which A.Y. McDonald angle plug valve do I order for a 3/4 inch copper service line versus a flare connection?
There are three inlet options in the A.Y. McDonald no-lead angle plug valve family, all with a meter yoke outlet: 3/4 inch Flare x Yoke is part 5124-041, 3/4 inch CTS x Yoke is 5124046, and 1 inch CTS x Yoke is 5133346. Pick CTS if you are landing on copper tube size service pipe, flare if the tubing is already flared. There is no 1 inch flare version in the family.
2) Is this valve legal to install ahead of a potable water meter?
The A.Y. McDonald angle plug valve carries a no-lead designation, meaning it is made to reduced-lead-content standards for potable water service. That is the build utilities and inspectors look for on anything in the service line ahead of the meter.
3) Why use an angle plug valve instead of a straight inline valve in a meter pit?
Space. The angle pattern turns the flow at the connection point, so the service line coming up into the pit can land on the yoke without a separate elbow. In a tight meter box or pit a straight-through valve often will not fit the available room at all. You still get a positive quarter-turn shutoff either way.
4) Does this A.Y. McDonald valve connect directly to a standard meter yoke?
Yes. Every configuration in the family pairs its inlet (CTS or flare) with a standard meter yoke outlet, so it lands straight onto the yoke in a meter setting assembly with no adapter on the outlet side.
5) What sizes does the A.Y. McDonald no-lead angle plug valve come in?
Trade sizes run 3/4 inch to 1 inch, which covers typical residential and light commercial water service connections. The 3/4 inch is offered with either CTS or flare inlet; the 1 inch is CTS inlet only. Anything larger than 1 inch is outside this family.
6) I am standardizing a property's meter settings. Can I use one part number across all my services?
Only if all your services are the same pipe size and inlet style. The yoke side is common across the family, but the inlet differs: 3/4 inch flare (5124-041), 3/4 inch CTS (5124046), and 1 inch CTS (5133346) are separate parts. Most portfolios end up stocking the 3/4 inch CTS and the 1 inch CTS, adding the flare version only where existing tubing is flared.
7) Can I use this valve on buried water service line, or is it indoor only?
It is built for rough-in and underground water service work, including meter pit and meter box installs and utility service line shutoffs. That is the intended duty, not indoor finish plumbing.
