Value Collection BDNA-15633 Copper Pipe Adapter 1/2in Ftg X M

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15633 is a wrot copper pipe adapter designed to connect copper tubing in sweat-solder plumbing systems. It features a fitting-to-male (FTG x M) end configuration, allowing a socket-end connection on one side and a male solder-end on the other. The fitting measures 1/2 inch on both ends, with an outside diameter of 5/8 inch on the FTG end and 1/2 inch on the male end. Fabricated from wrot copper, this adapter provides a dense, uniform grain structure well-suited to pressure applications and repeated thermal cycling in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Licensed plumbers and experienced pipefitters are the primary installers.

This adapter is used in copper water supply lines, hydronic heating loops, and refrigeration or HVAC copper piping where a transition between a socket fitting and a male solder end is required. Its compact 1/2 x 1/2 inch size makes it a standard-use fitting in residential water distribution systems, particularly at fixture connections, valve tie-ins, and branch-line transitions. The FTG x M configuration is commonly used when connecting into an existing copper run without additional couplings.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for high-density, pressure-rated performance
• FTG x M end connection for direct sweat-solder installation
• 1/2 inch x 1/2 inch fitting size suits standard residential supply line work
• Outside diameter of 5/8 inch on FTG end and 1/2 inch on male end
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds, minimizing load on finished piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch copper sweat-solder plumbing systems using FTG x M adapter connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line and drain the pipe fully before soldering. Clean all mating surfaces with emery cloth and apply appropriate flux before sweating the joint. Avoid applying excessive heat to the fitting, as overheating wrot copper can compromise joint integrity.
