This fitting transitions from a 0.62-inch fitting (FTG) connection to a 0.38-inch copper (C) connection using a female solder inlet and male solder outlet. At 1.13 inches in length, the extended profile provides adequate engagement depth for a reliable sweat joint. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians rely on wrot copper fittings for their consistent wall thickness, pressure integrity, and compatibility with standard soldering practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer bushing is suited for copper tubing installations where a step-down in pipe diameter is required without adding a full coupling or union. Common applications include domestic water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, and refrigerant line sets where space-efficient fittings are preferred. The extended solder design allows for deeper cup engagement, which supports stronger joints in tight or vibration-prone installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and reliable pressure performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtended solder profile provides deeper cup engagement for stronger sweat joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 0.62-inch FTG to 0.38-inch C in a single compact fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFemale solder inlet x male solder outlet connection type\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.13-inch length keeps the transition compact in confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for copper tubing systems using 0.62-inch FTG and 0.38-inch C sweat connections in plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician using standard sweat-soldering tools including a torch, flux, and lead-free solder per local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system and allow all piping to cool completely before cutting or fitting. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply flux evenly before heating. Follow applicable IPC or local code requirements for solder alloy type, especially on potable water systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wrot Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Solder x Male Solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.62 inches FTG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.38 inches C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActual Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.13 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.65 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MUELLER STREAMLINE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG00843\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MUELLER STREAMLINE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51524407689522,"sku":"FTG00843","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/86c018217fe2276cc6a183d8abf8ecb7_64f1436d-02d4-45dd-84fc-d16159f1407d.webp?v=1785448228","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mueller-streamline-ftg00843-copper-reducer-bushing","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
