It transitions from a 3\/4-inch fitting (FTG) end to a 1\/2-inch copper (C) end, allowing direction changes and size reductions in a single fitting. Wrot copper construction provides excellent pressure ratings, corrosion resistance, and reliable soldered joints. This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians wherever a 90-degree turn and a pipe reduction are needed in the same connection point, eliminating the need for a separate reducer coupling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer elbow is suited for residential and light commercial potable water, hydronic heating, and refrigerant piping applications. The FTG x C end configuration means the fitting outlet accepts a standard copper tube for soldering while the inlet slips over tubing like a standard fitting. It is commonly used when transitioning branch lines from a 3\/4-inch main to 1\/2-inch supply runs at fixture drops or coil connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrot copper construction for high-integrity brazed or soldered joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90-degree turn with inline size reduction — 3\/4 inch FTG inlet to 1\/2 inch C outlet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutside diameter: 7\/8 inch on the 3\/4-inch end, 5\/8 inch on the 1\/2-inch end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFTG x C end connection — compatible with standard sweat-connection assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact form factor suitable for tight-space installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use in standard copper piping systems requiring a 90-degree change in direction combined with a reduction from 3\/4-inch to 1\/2-inch pipe size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B16.22 standards for wrought copper fittings. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system and allow all lines to cool completely before cutting or fitting. Clean all pipe ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering or brazing. Do not apply excessive heat to the fitting body, as overheating can degrade the joint integrity of wrot copper sweat connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wrot Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 Degree Reducer Elbow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch x 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7\/8 inch x 5\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MUELLER INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15697\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51538338185522,"sku":"15697","price":20.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/767203f958186e152455444e19584cd6.jpg?v=1785823266","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-industries-15697-copper-90-reducer-elbow-3-4x1-2-ftg-x-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
