Elkhart Products WP3-2-16 Female Street Adapter 1 Inch Copper

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS WP3-2-16 is a 1-inch female street adapter designed for copper sweat piping systems. It uses a FTG (fitting-to-fitting) x Female solder connection, allowing a fitting-end male to slip directly into the socket without a coupling. This WROT copper construction meets the dimensional and material standards expected in professional plumbing installations. Plumbers use this adapter when transitioning between fitting configurations in tight copper runs where a standard coupling would add unnecessary length. The 0.214-pound weight and compact dimensions make it easy to work into confined spaces in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where copper sweat connections are specified. It is commonly installed in supply-side water distribution systems, including domestic hot and cold water lines. The FTG x Female configuration is particularly useful when connecting directly to another fitting end, reducing the total number of joints in a run. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this part as part of larger copper rough-in or retrofit projects.

Key Features

• WROT copper construction for reliable, code-compliant solder joints
• FTG x Female connection eliminates the need for an additional coupling in fitting-to-fitting transitions
• 1-inch nominal size fits standard copper pipe and fittings of the same size
• Solder-type joint compatible with standard sweat fitting tools and technique
• Compact profile at 1.65 x 1.97 x 1.45 inches for use in space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use fitting for 1-inch copper sweat piping systems using FTG x Female solder connections in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and fully depressurize and drain the line before soldering. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux before making the sweat joint. Avoid excessive heat on the fitting, which can damage the copper or draw flux out of the joint.
