Value Collection BDNA-15742 Copper Pipe Coupling 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BDNA-15742 is a wrot copper pipe coupling designed for joining two lengths of copper tubing in a sweat-solder (C x C) configuration. Sized for 1/4-inch copper tubing with a 3/8-inch outside diameter, this coupling provides a reliable, pressure-rated joint in water supply, refrigeration, and HVAC refrigerant piping applications. Wrot copper construction delivers consistent wall thickness and a smooth interior bore, which supports clean solder flow and a leak-free joint. Plumbers and HVAC-R technicians use this fitting wherever a straight in-line connection is required on small-diameter copper runs.

This coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC-R applications involving 1/4-inch copper tubing. Common install scenarios include refrigerant line repairs, chilled water piping, potable water supply lines, and other small-bore copper systems where a soldered coupling joint is specified. The C x C end connections are compatible with standard 1/4-inch copper tube stock following ASTM dimensional standards.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and reliable solder joints
• C x C (sweat) end connections on both ends for standard soldered assembly
• 1/4-inch fitting size for use with 1/4-inch copper tubing
• 3/8-inch outside diameter per supplier specification
• Compact, lightweight fitting at 0.01 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4-inch copper tubing systems using standard C x C sweat-solder connections in plumbing and HVAC-R applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC-R technician. Before cutting or soldering, shut off the water supply or recover refrigerant from the system and verify the line is depressurized. Clean and deburr both tube ends, apply flux, and solder in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM B32 solder standards. Do not apply heat to a pressurized line or a line that has not been fully drained.
