Value Collection BDNA-15610 Copper Pipe Adapter 1/2x1/4 Cxm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15610 is a wrot copper pipe adapter designed to transition between a 1/2-inch copper sweat (C) connection and a 1/4-inch male (M) threaded connection. Wrot copper is wrought or worked copper, known for its dense grain structure and reliable pressure performance in plumbing systems. This adapter handles the directional change in connection type where a soldered copper line meets a male-threaded fitting or component. It is installed by licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

This adapter is suited for tight-space plumbing runs where a copper sweat line must terminate at a male-threaded port. Common applications include connecting copper supply lines to fixture valves, refrigeration service ports, or instrument connections requiring a reduced male-thread outlet. The 1/2-inch sweat inlet and 1/4-inch male outlet configuration makes it a standard reduction adapter in potable water, hydronic, and refrigeration-adjacent copper piping systems.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for dense grain structure and long service life
• 1/2-inch C (sweat/solder) inlet to 1/4-inch M (male thread) outlet
• Outside diameter of 5/8 inch on the sweat end and 1/4 inch on the male end
• Compact form factor suited for confined plumbing spaces
• Compatible with standard copper soldering and brazing procedures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-fit adapter for copper plumbing systems requiring a C x M transition from 1/2-inch to 1/4-inch connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering or brazing. The sweat end requires standard flux application and lead-free solder per local plumbing code requirements, including applicable IPC provisions. Do not over-torque the male-threaded end connection; use appropriate thread sealant or tape as required by the mating fitting specification.
