Value Collection BDNA-15615 Copper Pipe Adapter 3/4x1/2 C X M

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15615 is a wrot copper pipe adapter designed to connect 3/4-inch copper tubing to 1/2-inch male threaded pipe. The fitting uses a C x M end configuration, meaning one end accepts a sweat (solder) connection and the other end is a male NPT thread. Wrot copper is a wrought, or worked, copper alloy that delivers consistent wall thickness and reliable pressure performance in potable water and hydronic systems. This adapter is a standard reducing fitting used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters to transition between tube size and threaded pipe in both residential and light commercial applications.

This adapter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3/4-inch copper supply line must reduce and connect to a 1/2-inch male threaded fitting, valve, or fixture. Common install scenarios include branch lines off main distribution runs, fixture supply connections, and boiler or water heater piping. The C x M configuration allows the installer to sweat the cup end onto copper tubing and thread the male end into a female-threaded port or fitting.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and long service life in pressure applications
• C x M end connection: sweat cup inlet by male NPT outlet for versatile copper-to-threaded transitions
• Reducing geometry: 3/4-inch cup side to 1/2-inch male thread side
• Outside diameter of 7/8 inch on the 3/4-inch cup end and 1/2 inch on the male thread end
• Compact, lightweight fitting suitable for tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for residential and light commercial copper plumbing systems requiring a reducing adapter with a sweat cup to male threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the line before beginning work. The cup end requires standard soldering practice: clean the tube and fitting socket, apply flux, heat evenly, and feed lead-free solder per local code requirements. Thread the male end into the female-threaded port using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape; do not overtighten threaded connections.
