Mueller Industries 15836 Copper 90 Sr Street Elbow 5/8 in

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15836 is a wrot copper 90-degree short radius street elbow designed for sweat-soldered copper piping systems. It features a FTG x C (fitting by copper) end connection, allowing one end to slip directly into a standard fitting socket while the other accepts copper tube. The 5/8-inch fitting size makes it well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and hydronic distribution lines where a compact directional change is needed. Wrot copper construction provides reliable pressure performance and compatibility with standard soft solders and brazing alloys.

This elbow is used wherever a 90-degree change of direction is required in a 5/8-inch copper piping run. The short radius design reduces the overall footprint of the fitting compared to a long radius elbow, making it practical in tight mechanical spaces, wall cavities, and equipment enclosures. It is appropriate for potable water, heating, cooling, and other fluid-handling applications that call for wrot copper per ASME B16.22. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and solderability
• 90-degree short radius configuration for compact directional changes
• FTG x C end connection allows direct in-line fitting connections without an additional coupling
• 5/8-inch fitting size with 3/4-inch outside diameter
• Sold in packages of 5, with a minimum order quantity of 1 package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 5/8-inch wrot copper sweat piping systems using FTG x C end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B16.22 standards. Shut off and depressurize the piping system and drain all fluid before cutting and fitting. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth or a fitting brush and apply flux prior to soldering. Do not use open-flame soldering equipment near combustible materials without appropriate shielding in place.
