Mueller Industries W 01652 Copper 90 Street Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES W 01652 is a wrot copper 90-degree street elbow designed for sweat-solder plumbing and HVAC piping systems. It connects a fitting-end (FTG) male outlet to a cup-end (C) female inlet, allowing a 90-degree directional change without a coupling. The fitting measures 1/2 inch in size with a 5/8-inch outside diameter and is manufactured from wrot copper for consistent wall thickness and reliable joint integrity. Licensed plumbers and HVAC piping technicians use this fitting wherever a street elbow configuration is required to reduce fitting count and trim installed length in tight spaces.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, refrigeration piping, and HVAC copper line sets where 1/2-inch tubing is used. The FTG x C end configuration allows it to slip directly onto the end of another fitting rather than requiring a separate coupling, which is useful in close-quarter installations such as boiler rooms, mechanical chases, and equipment closets. It is compatible with standard 1/2-inch copper tube and fittings per ASME B16.22.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow configuration reduces fitting count in tight directional changes
• FTG x C ends allow direct fitting-to-fitting connection without an additional coupling
• Wrot copper construction provides uniform wall thickness and strong, leak-free solder joints
• Meets ASME B16.22, ASME B16.18, ASME B16.15, and ASME B16.50 dimensional standards
• NSF 61G listed for use in potable water systems
• Complies with ASME B1.20.1 thread standards where applicable

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-service fitting for 1/2-inch copper tube systems conforming to ASME B16.22. Compatible with standard 1/2-inch wrot copper and cast copper alloy fittings joined by solder per applicable ASME standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC piping technician in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and drain the water or fluid system completely before cutting or removing existing fittings. Clean both the FTG end and the cup socket with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering to ensure a full, void-free joint. Do not apply heat to a fitting that is wet or under pressure.
