Elkhart Products 9020500CB Copper Coupling 1 Inch

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9020500CB is a 1-inch copper coupling without a center stop, cleaned and bagged for immediate use in potable water, hydronic, and general plumbing applications. The less-stop design allows the fitting to slide freely along the pipe, making it the correct choice for repair couplings where a full pipe section must be replaced without cutting to an exact length. Supplied clean and individually bagged, this coupling is ready for soldering straight out of the package without additional flux preparation on the fitting interior.

This coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where 1-inch copper tubing is the specified pipe size. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and in-wall or under-slab repair work. The absence of an internal stop gives installers the flexibility to position the fitting anywhere along the pipe joint, which is especially useful in tight or confined repair scenarios.

Key Features

• Less-stop design allows free axial positioning along the pipe for repair and retrofit work
• Cleaned and bagged at the factory — interior surfaces are flux-ready for soldering
• 1-inch nominal copper sweat connection on both ends
• Individual bag packaging keeps the fitting clean until point of installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat fitting compatible with standard 1-inch copper tubing in Type K, L, and M configurations per common plumbing practice.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and drain the line fully before cutting and fitting. Use standard copper soldering tools — pipe cutter, fitting brush, flux, and torch — and follow lead-free solder requirements for potable water systems. Do not use this fitting on gas lines or with incompatible piping materials.
