Mueller Industries 15846 Copper 90 Lr Elbow 1/8 X 1/8 Cxc

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 15846 is a wrot copper 90-degree long radius elbow fitting designed for sweat-connect copper piping systems. It features a 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch C x C (copper-to-copper) end connection, making it compatible with standard soldered joint installations. Wrot copper construction delivers consistent wall thickness and high-quality grain structure, which supports reliable pressure performance and clean solder flow. This fitting is sized for small-diameter line work and is commonly installed by plumbers and HVAC technicians on refrigerant, fuel gas, or potable water branch lines where a long radius turn is required to reduce flow restriction.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where 1/8 inch copper tubing is used. The long radius geometry produces a gradual directional change compared to a standard 90-degree elbow, reducing turbulence and pressure drop in the line. Typical installation scenarios include tight-clearance branch connections, instrument lines, and small-diameter service piping. Packaged in quantities of 5, this fitting is appropriate for service trucks and small job stocking.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for uniform wall thickness and consistent solder joints
• 90-degree long radius design reduces flow restriction compared to short radius elbows
• C x C end connections accept standard sweat-solder assembly
• 1/8 inch by 1/8 inch sizing for small-diameter copper line work
• Packaged in quantities of 5 per pack for efficient stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat-fit replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8 inch copper tubing systems using C x C soldered connections in plumbing and HVAC piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in most jurisdictions. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Clean tubing ends and fitting cups thoroughly with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as IPC or IFGC. Avoid overheating the fitting during torch work, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise joint integrity.
