Sized for 3\/8-inch tubing with a 1\/2-inch outside diameter, this coupling joins two lengths of copper pipe in a straight run without reducing flow. Wrot copper construction provides a dense, work-hardened grain structure that resists leaks at soldered joints. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this fitting in potable water, hydronic heating, refrigerant, and compressed-air lines wherever a reliable copper-to-copper connection is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. Typical applications include branch-line repairs, supply-line extensions, and new rough-in work involving 3\/8-inch copper tubing. The C x C end configuration means both ends accept standard copper tube for a sweat-solder joint, making it a common stock item for service vans and mechanical rooms. It is compatible with Type K, L, and M copper tubing in the corresponding nominal size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrot copper material delivers a dense grain structure ideal for leak-free soldered joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC x C (sweat) end connections on both ends for standard copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch fitting size covers common residential and light commercial tubing runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/2-inch outside diameter matches standard nominal copper tube sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact, lightweight design at 0.01 pounds — minimal added load to piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 3\/8-inch nominal copper piping systems using sweat-solder (C x C) connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in jurisdictions where copper sweat work is regulated under the IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water or fluid system and drain the line before cutting and fitting. Clean both tube ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth, apply flux, and solder with lead-free solder per applicable code. Do not apply heat to a fitting while the line is pressurized or contains residual moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x C (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wrot Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175305\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BDNA-15743\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51721299001650,"sku":"BDNA-15743","price":18.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/b8adf16125bb3f0d822b138da3dd4803.jpg?v=1788576078","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-bdna-15743-copper-pipe-coupling-3-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
