Mueller Industries 15804 Wrot Copper 45 Elbow 1/2 in Ftg X C

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15804 is a wrot copper 45-degree elbow fitting designed for sweat-soldered copper piping systems. It connects two copper pipe runs at a 45-degree angle, allowing directional changes in water supply, heating, or cooling lines. The fitting uses an FTG x C (fitting-by-copper) end configuration, meaning one end accepts a fitting and the other accepts standard copper tubing. Sized at 1/2 inch with an outside diameter of 5/8 inch, it is a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for potable water supply lines, hot and cold distribution piping, radiant heating loops, and refrigeration or HVAC copper line applications where a 45-degree change in direction is required. The 1/2-inch size is one of the most common in residential plumbing rough-in work, making this elbow a frequent stock item for service contractors and new construction plumbers alike.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2-inch copper piping systems using sweat-solder connections in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians using standard sweat-soldering tools including a torch, flux, and lead-free solder per applicable codes. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux prior to soldering. Follow local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for copper fittings in potable water systems.
