Value Collection BDNA-15719 Wrot Copper Pipe Cap 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15719 is a wrot copper pipe cap designed to terminate 1/2-inch copper tubing with a sweat (C-type) end connection. Wrot copper construction means the fitting is formed from wrought copper, giving it consistent wall thickness and reliable pressure integrity. The cap seats over the tube end and is sweated in place with solder, creating a permanent, leak-resistant seal. This type of fitting is a standard component in potable water, hydronic heating, and refrigeration piping systems. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install these caps when capping off unused branch lines, service ports, or stub-outs during rough-in or system modification work.

This cap is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical applications where 1/2-inch copper tubing is present. Common install scenarios include capping unused tee branches, terminating supply lines during system reconfiguration, and closing off copper stubs during new construction rough-in. The sweat connection is compatible with standard Type L and Type M copper tubing in 1/2-inch nominal size.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and reliable solder joints
• C-type (sweat/solder) end connection — no threads or compression hardware needed
• 1/2-inch fitting size with 5/8-inch outside diameter
• Lightweight at 0.01 pounds — minimal added load on tubing
• Suitable for potable water, hydronic, and refrigeration copper piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting compatible with standard 1/2-inch nominal copper tubing using sweat (C-type) end connections in residential and light commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO or IPC standards. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and drain all water from the pipe before soldering. Clean the tube end and the inside of the cap with emery cloth and apply flux before sweating the joint. Avoid overheating the fitting during soldering, as excessive heat can cause flux to burn off and result in a void in the solder joint.
