Elkhart Products WPFLC-16-12 Copper Flush Bushing 1x3/4

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS WPFLC-16-12 is a wrot copper flush bushing used to reduce pipe diameter within a copper sweat assembly. It connects a 1-inch fitting end to a 3/4-inch cup end using a standard solder joint, making it a straightforward, reliable fitting for copper water and refrigeration piping. The bushing sits flush inside the fitting socket rather than protruding, which keeps the transition clean and in-line. At 0.115 pounds and compact dimensions, it is a commonly stocked reducer fitting for service and repair work performed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems where a 1-inch to 3/4-inch reduction is needed at a sweat joint. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, in-wall rough-in, and HVAC copper refrigerant or condensate piping. It is installed wherever a standard copper solder connection is appropriate and a low-profile bushing is preferred over a reducing coupling or adapter.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and solder compatibility
• Flush bushing design sits within the fitting socket for a compact, in-line reduction
• FTG x C connection: 1-inch fitting end solders into a larger fitting; 3/4-inch cup end receives standard tube
• Solder-type joint compatible with standard lead-free sweat procedures
• Lightweight at 0.115 pounds, suitable for overhead and confined-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wrot copper fitting for use in standard 1-inch to 3/4-inch solder-joint copper piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires shutting off water supply and draining the affected line before soldering. A licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician should perform the sweat connection in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Use appropriate lead-free solder and flux rated for potable water service where required. Ensure the fitting socket and tube end are clean, deburred, and dry before applying flux and heat.
