Mueller Industries 15802 Copper 45 Street Elbow 1/4 in Ftg X C

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15802 is a wrot copper 45-degree street elbow designed for use in copper pressure piping systems. The fitting size is 1/4 inch with a FTG x C (fitting by copper) end connection, allowing one end to slip directly into a standard fitting socket while the other accepts a copper tube. Wrot copper construction provides reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in potable water, hydronic heating, and refrigeration line applications. This elbow is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working with small-diameter copper tubing runs where a 45-degree directional change is required.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and hydronic systems using 1/4 inch copper tubing. The street elbow configuration is particularly useful in tight spaces where a standard elbow and extra stub of tube would not fit, enabling a direct connection from one fitting socket to the next. It ships in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service technicians who commonly need multiples on a single job.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for superior pressure rating and corrosion resistance compared to cast fittings
• 45-degree street elbow geometry for directional changes in confined spaces without an additional tube stub
• FTG x C end connection allows direct fitting-to-fitting assembly
• 1/4 inch fitting size suited for small-diameter copper tubing applications
• Outside diameter of 3/8 inch
• Packaged in quantities of 5 to support typical service call requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch copper pressure piping systems using standard sweat (solder) connections per ASTM B88 tubing dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians using standard soldering equipment, flux, and lead-free solder in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or UPC. Shut off and drain the water or fluid system completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Allow the fitting to cool fully before restoring system pressure.
