Mueller Industries 15835 Copper 90 Street Elbow 1/2 in Ftg X C

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15835 is a wrot copper 90-degree short radius street elbow designed for sweat-solder copper piping systems. The FTG x C end configuration means one end accepts a copper fitting (male street end) and the other accepts standard copper tube (female cup end), allowing direct connection without an additional coupling. This fitting is used in tight-space installations where a full-radius elbow will not fit. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial water distribution systems. The 1/2-inch size suits typical domestic water supply lines.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in, repipe work, and repair applications. The short radius body keeps the directional change compact, making it practical in wall cavities, floor joists, and mechanical chases where clearance is limited. The FTG x C connection pattern allows it to be used as a street elbow, inserting directly into another fitting socket to eliminate an extra joint. Plumbers working to IPC or UPC standards will find this fitting consistent with standard sweat-joint practice for 1/2-inch copper supply lines.

Key Features

• 90-degree short radius turn in a compact body for tight-clearance installations
• FTG x C end connections allow direct street-elbow insertion into adjacent fitting sockets
• Wrot copper construction meets standard requirements for pressure water service

• Outside diameter of 5/8 inch on the fitting end

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 1/2-inch wrot copper sweat-solder piping systems using FTG x C end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter using standard sweat-soldering tools including a torch, flux, and lead-free solder per applicable plumbing code. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before cutting or fitting. Clean and flux all mating surfaces thoroughly before applying heat to ensure a sound, leak-free joint. Refer to IPC or UPC requirements for approved solder alloys and pressure ratings applicable to the installation.
