Mueller Industries 15696 Wrot Copper Pipe Bushing 3/4x5/8 Cxc

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15696 is a wrot copper pipe bushing designed to reduce a 3/4-inch socket to a 5/8-inch connection in copper piping systems. It uses a copper-to-copper (C x C) end connection, making it compatible with standard sweat-solder assembly. The outside diameters measure 7/8 inch on the larger end and 3/4 inch on the smaller end. Wrot copper construction delivers consistent wall thickness, high pressure tolerance, and reliable solder joints. This bushing is a standard fitting used by plumbers and HVAC technicians wherever a pipe size transition is required in a copper line set or distribution system.

This bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications. It is commonly installed in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, refrigerant line transitions, and drain or vent configurations that use sweat-fit copper fittings. The C x C end configuration requires soldering on both ends, making it a permanent, leak-resistant connection when properly installed. Packaged in quantities of 5 per pack, it is practical for service technicians carrying standard fitting stock.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in most jurisdictions. Shut off and drain the water or fluid line before cutting and fitting. Clean all pipe ends and fitting sockets thoroughly with emery cloth or a fitting brush, and apply flux before soldering to ensure a sound, leak-free joint. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for solder type and joint inspection.
