Elkhart Products WP4-2-32 Male Street Adapter 2 in Copper

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS WP4-2-32 is a 2-inch male street adapter manufactured from WROT copper and designed for sweat-solder copper piping systems. This fitting connects using an FTG (fitting-to-ground) socket on one end and a male threaded connection on the other, allowing a direct transition between a copper tube and a female-threaded fitting or valve body without the need for an additional coupling. At 0.749 pounds and measuring approximately 2.41 x 2.81 x 2.41 inches, it is a compact, durable fitting suited for pressurized domestic water and hydronic applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of adapter as part of service valve assemblies, manifold connections, and branch piping configurations.

This adapter is intended for residential and light commercial copper plumbing installations where a sweat-to-male-thread transition is required. Typical use cases include connecting copper distribution piping to threaded isolation valves, boiler supply and return connections, and fixture supply rough-in. The FTG x M configuration is a standard street-style fitting that eliminates one soldered joint compared to a standard socket adapter, saving labor on tight runs.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments.
