Mueller Industries BDNA-15644 Wrot Copper Adapter 3/8in Cxf

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES BDNA-15644 is a wrot copper pipe adapter designed to transition between a copper sweat connection and a female threaded connection in plumbing and HVAC piping systems. Sized at 3/8 inch by 3/8 inch with a C x F end configuration, this fitting allows a copper tube to be soldered on one end while the opposite end accepts a male threaded fitting. Wrot copper construction provides reliable performance in pressure and temperature applications typical of residential and light commercial water, refrigerant, and hydronic lines. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and hydronic systems where a sweat-to-female-thread transition is required. Common applications include connecting copper tubing to threaded valves, service ports, gauges, or manifold fittings. The 3/8 inch size is frequently encountered in supply lines, refrigerant circuits, and smaller branch runs. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.
