Elkhart Products 10056672 Brass Sweat Union 1 Inch

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 10056672 is a 1-inch cast brass sweat union designed for copper tubing systems in residential and commercial plumbing applications. This lead-free fitting meets modern potable water safety requirements and provides a reliable, pressure-rated connection point that allows sections of copper pipe to be disconnected without cutting. Sweat unions are a standard component in service loops, equipment connections, and anywhere future serviceability is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard soldering tools and flux.

This union is suited for hot and cold water distribution systems, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing rough-in work. Its cast brass construction provides durability in both buried and exposed installations. The 1-inch size fits standard 1-inch copper tubing and is appropriate for residential main lines, commercial branch runs, and mechanical room piping where routine disconnect access is needed.

Key Features

• Lead-free cast brass construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act compliance requirements for potable water systems
• Sweat connection type for a permanent, solder-joined seal on standard copper tubing
• Union design allows pipe sections to be separated for service without cutting
• 1-inch fitting size suits common residential and light commercial main and branch lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1-inch copper tubing in sweat-connection plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering. Ensure pipe ends are cut square, deburred, and cleaned before applying flux and heat. Do not overheat the fitting body, as excessive heat can damage the union seat and degrade the joint.
