Mueller Industries w01496 Copper Adapter 2-1/2 in Fitting X Mnpt

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES w01496 is a 2-1/2 inch nominal copper solder-joint adapter designed for pressure and supply piping systems. It connects a copper sweat fitting end to a male NPT threaded connection, making it a common transition fitting in pressurized water and fluid distribution systems. Rated at 700 psi, this domestically manufactured adapter is made from copper and carries an outer diameter of 2-5/8 inches. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on commercial or residential pressure piping where a copper-to-threaded-male transition is required.

This adapter is suited for pressurized supply systems that require a reliable copper solder-joint to male NPT interface at the 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size. Typical applications include main supply lines, mechanical room distribution headers, and commercial plumbing runs where high-pressure copper piping transitions to threaded components such as valves, pumps, or manifolds. Its pressure rating of 700 psi makes it appropriate for demanding system pressures encountered in commercial and industrial piping installations.

Key Features

• 2-1/2 inch nominal size with 2-5/8 inch outer diameter for accurate fitment in pressure piping systems
• Rated to 700 psi for use in high-pressure supply and distribution applications
• Fitting x MNPT end configuration for copper sweat-to-threaded-male transitions
• Copper construction for corrosion resistance and compatibility with potable water systems
• Domestically manufactured to consistent quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solder-joint copper adapter for pressurized supply and distribution piping systems requiring a 2-1/2 inch nominal Fitting x MNPT transition.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM B88 copper tube standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting or soldering. Clean and flux both the copper fitting end and the receiving tube per standard sweat-soldering practice before applying heat. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making the threaded connection, and do not over-torque the threaded joint.
