Mueller W04084 1-5/8" Tee

The Mueller W04084 1-5/8" Tee is a professional-grade wrot copper fitting engineered for high-performance branch connections in HVACR systems and potable water lines. Designed with a 1-5/8" OD (1-1/2" ID) C x C x C sweat connection, this Streamline copper tee ensures a reliable, leak-proof joint when properly brazed or soldered. Its precision-manufactured solder joint design facilitates smooth fluid flow while minimizing pressure drops across the system. Constructed from high-purity C12200 alloy, it offers superior thermal conductivity and natural corrosion resistance, making it essential for refrigerant line branching in both residential and commercial applications. This fitting is UL recognized to 700 psi and meets ASME B16.22 and NSF 61G standards, providing the structural integrity required for pressurized environments and rigorous field conditions. For master technicians, the 1-5/8 inch copper tee represents the industry standard for durability and dimensional accuracy in complex piping layouts.

Key Benefits

• Precision Engineering: Manufactured to ASME B16.22 standards to ensure consistent wall thickness and perfect fitment with 1-5/8" OD tubing.
• High Pressure Rating: Rated for operating pressures up to 700 psi, making it suitable for modern HVACR refrigeration cycles.
• Lead-Free Reliability: Certified to NSF 61G for safe use in above-ground potable water supply systems.
• Superior Flow Dynamics: The wrot copper construction provides a smooth internal surface that reduces turbulence and protects system efficiency.
• Vibration Resistance: Designed to withstand the mechanical stresses and thermal expansion common in condenser and evaporator line sets.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the 1-5/8" OD and 1-1/2" ID sizing?
In the HVACR industry, fittings are typically identified by their Outside Diameter (OD), which is 1-5/8" for this part. In standard plumbing applications, this corresponds to a 1-1/2" Nominal Inside Diameter (ID). Always verify your tubing measurements before brazing.

Can this tee be used with high-pressure refrigerants like R-410A?
Yes, the Mueller W04084 is UL recognized for pressures up to 700 psi, which covers the operating requirements of most R-410A residential and commercial systems.

Is this fitting compatible with both soft and hard copper tubing?
This sweat tee is designed for use with any copper tubing that meets ASTM B88 (plumbing) or ASTM B280 (ACR) standards, provided the OD matches the 1-5/8" cup size.
