Mueller Industries 15833 Copper 90 Street Elbow 1/4 in Ftg X C

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15833 is a wrot copper 90-degree short radius street elbow designed for tight-turn directional changes in copper piping systems. The fitting size is 1/4 inch with an FTG x C (fitting-to-sweat) end connection, allowing one end to slip inside a fitting socket and the other to accept a standard copper tube. Wrot copper construction provides reliable pressure performance and is well-suited for soldered joints in both potable water and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction and retrofit work where compact bends are required in confined spaces.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial copper piping systems where a 90-degree change of direction is needed in a short radius. The FTG x C configuration makes it particularly useful when transitioning directly from one fitting to a tube run without adding extra length. Typical applications include domestic water distribution, refrigeration tubing, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant lines where 1/4-inch copper is specified. Sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for multi-connection jobs.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for strong, leak-resistant soldered joints
• 90-degree short radius design enables tight directional changes in confined spaces
• FTG x C end connection allows direct fitting-to-tube transitions
• 1/4-inch fitting size with 3/8-inch outside diameter
• Packaged in quantities of 10 to support multi-connection installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 1/4-inch copper tube systems using sweat (solder) connections per ASTM and ASME B16.22 wrot copper fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in most jurisdictions. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant line before cutting and fitting. Clean all mating surfaces and apply appropriate flux before soldering; follow local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC guidelines for joint preparation and inspection. Do not over-heat the fitting during soldering, as excessive heat can compromise the joint integrity of wrot copper.
