Description
Copper fittings are essential components used in plumbing, HVAC, refrigeration, and gas distribution systems. These fittings provide strong, corrosion-resistant, and leak-proof connections for copper tubing. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes, copper fittings are widely used due to their durability, thermal conductivity, and ease of installation.
Key Specifications:
- Material: Copper (C12200, 99.9% Pure Copper)
- Types:
- Elbows (45° & 90°) – Changes the direction of the pipe
- Tees (Straight & Reducing) – Connects three pipes
- Couplings (Standard & Slip) – Joins two pipes together
- Reducers – Connects different pipe sizes
- Caps & Plugs – Closes pipe ends
- Unions – Allows easy disconnection and reconnection
- Adapters (Male & Female) – Converts pipe ends for different connections
- Size Range: 1/4” to 6” (varies by fitting type)
- Wall Thickness: Matches standard copper tube types (Type M, L, K)
- Connection Methods:
- Solder (Sweat) – Requires flux and soldering
- Press-Fit – Uses press tools for a secure, leak-proof seal
- Compression – Uses a nut and ferrule for a tight connection
- Threaded (MIP/FIP) – Screws into compatible fittings
- Pressure Rating: Varies by size and type, typically up to 1000 PSI for soldered joints
- Standards Compliance:
- ASTM B75 / B88 / B280
