Mueller Industries 15758 Wrot Copper Reducer 1/2x1/4 C X C

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15758 is a wrot copper concentric reducer fitting used to transition between 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch copper tubing in sweat (C x C) connections. Wrot copper construction provides consistent wall thickness, high-pressure integrity, and clean soldering surfaces. The fitting accepts standard solder and is suited for refrigeration, HVAC, and plumbing applications where tubing size reductions are required. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics are the primary installers. The 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch outside diameter sizing reflects standard ACR and plumbing copper tubing conventions for these nominal sizes.

This reducer is used in residential and light commercial systems wherever a reduction from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch nominal copper tubing is required. Common applications include refrigerant line modifications, small-bore plumbing supply lines, and condensate or instrument tubing connections. Wrot copper fittings are appropriate for both above-ground and concealed installations where code-compliant brazed or soldered joints are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or certified HVAC-R technician. Shut off the system supply and relieve any pressure before cutting into an existing line. Clean tubing ends and fitting sockets thoroughly before applying flux and soldering or brazing per applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings of the solder alloy used.
