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
  • NSF/ANSI 61 (Safe for potable water)
  • ASME B16.22
