Elkhart Products 10056704 Lead-free Brass Male Union 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 10056704 is a lead-free cast brass male union designed for copper-to-male-iron-pipe (C x M) solder connections in potable water and plumbing systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches, this union allows technicians to create a serviceable joint that can be disconnected and reconnected without cutting pipe. At 1.347 pounds and constructed from lead-free brass, it meets modern potable water compliance requirements. Licensed plumbers working on residential and light commercial water supply systems install this fitting as part of service unions on water heaters, boilers, and branch supply lines.

This male union is suited for 1-1/2 inch copper tubing systems where a solder sweat connection transitions to a male iron pipe thread. Typical applications include water heater supply and return connections, boiler piping, and any plumbing assembly where future serviceability at the union point is required. It carries a lead-free designation appropriate for potable water service in jurisdictions enforcing low-lead content mandates under applicable plumbing codes.

Key Features

• Lead-free brass construction meets potable water compliance requirements for low-lead content
• 1-1/2 inch C x M configuration joins copper tubing to male iron pipe thread in one fitting
• Solder-type sweat connection on the copper side for a reliable, permanent seal
• Cast brass body provides durability under standard residential and light commercial water system pressures
• Union design allows future disconnection without cutting pipe, simplifying service and equipment replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch copper-to-male-iron-pipe plumbing assemblies in residential and light commercial potable water systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the affected piping before beginning work. The copper sweat side requires proper flux application, a clean tube end, and a propane or MAPP torch following standard soldering practices per the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code. Thread the male iron pipe side into the mating female fitting with appropriate thread sealant rated for potable water; do not overtighten cast brass threads.
