Mueller Streamline TRP00028 Suction Line Trap 1-1/8 Cxc

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE TRP00028 is a copper suction line P-trap designed for refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It installs in the suction line of a refrigerant circuit to ensure proper oil return to the compressor, particularly in systems where the evaporator is located above the condensing unit or where vertical risers are present. The TRP00028 features CXC connections — copper-to-copper sweat joints — and a 1-1/8 inch line size, making it suitable for larger residential and light commercial HVAC-R applications. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics install this fitting as part of proper suction line design.

This trap is used in split-system air conditioning, heat pump, and refrigeration installations where suction line routing requires an oil trap at the base of a vertical riser. Correct placement of suction line traps prevents oil logging in the evaporator coil and protects compressor longevity. The 1-1/8 inch CXC sweat configuration makes this part appropriate for systems with suction line sizing in that range, typically mid-to-large capacity residential or light commercial equipment. Installation is performed by licensed HVAC-R technicians during new construction or system retrofit.

Key Features

• 1-1/8 inch line size suits mid-to-large capacity HVAC-R suction line applications
• CXC sweat connections for clean, leak-resistant brazed joints
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with common refrigerants
• P-trap geometry promotes proper oil return up suction line risers
• Minimum order quantity of 3 units consistent with contractor job-lot use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style suction line trap for copper refrigerant piping systems using 1-1/8 inch CXC sweat connections in HVAC-R split-system and refrigeration installations. Replaces or is equivalent to WE-554P per supplier data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC-R technicians. Recover all refrigerant and depressurize the system before cutting into any suction line. Sweat connections require a torch, proper brazing alloy, and nitrogen purge per industry best practice to prevent internal oxidation. Suction line trap placement and sizing should follow ASHRAE or equipment manufacturer guidelines for vertical riser height and system capacity.
