Mueller Streamline W 06020 Copper 180 Return Bend

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE w 06020 is a wrot copper 180-degree return bend fitting designed for pressure-rated solder-joint plumbing systems. With a nominal size of 1/4 x 1-1/2 inches and an OD of 3/8 inches, this fitting reverses flow direction in a tight loop configuration. It is rated to 700 psi and uses a C x C (copper sweat) end style, meaning both ends accept copper tubing joined by soldering. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in supply and pressurized distribution systems where a full 180-degree direction change is required.

This return bend is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations, particularly in pressurized supply-line applications. The sweat connection method makes it compatible with standard copper tubing runs where a brazed or soldered joint is specified. Its compact geometry is useful in tight spaces where a coil or reversal of tubing direction is needed without the use of two 90-degree elbows. Domestically manufactured, it meets the dimensional and material standards expected for pressure service copper fittings.

Key Features

• 180-degree bend geometry for full flow reversal in a single fitting
• 700 psi pressure rating suitable for pressurized supply systems
• C x C sweat end style for standard soldered copper connections
• Wrot copper construction for consistent grain structure and solderability
• Nominal size 1/4 x 1-1/2 inches with 3/8 inch OD
• Domestically manufactured to standard solder-joint fitting tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solder-joint replacement or new-installation fitting for pressurized copper plumbing systems using C x C sweat connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and allow all tubing to dry completely before soldering, as moisture will prevent proper joint formation. Use appropriate flux and lead-free solder per applicable code requirements. Allow soldered joints to cool fully before restoring system pressure and inspecting for leaks.
