Mueller Industries W02722 Elbow

The Mueller Industries W02722 is a professional-grade 5/8" OD (1/2" ID) sweat long radius 90 degree elbow engineered for high-performance HVACR and plumbing applications. Manufactured from wrot copper (C12200), this Streamline series fitting is a staple for contractors requiring durable, leak-proof transitions in both pressurized refrigeration circuits and potable water systems. The long radius design is specifically utilized to minimize pressure drop and turbulence, ensuring optimal flow characteristics for refrigerants and fluids alike.

This C x C (cup-to-cup) fitting is UL recognized to 700 psi and maintains a temperature rating up to 250°F, making it resilient under standard operating conditions. It meets rigorous industry benchmarks, including ASME B16.22 and NSF/ANSI 61G for lead-free compliance. Whether you are piping out an evaporator coil or installing a potable water line, the precision-machined solder joint ends provide consistent capillary action for a reliable seal every time.

Key Benefits

• Long Radius Sweep: Reduces flow resistance and noise, critical for maintaining system efficiency in HVACR line sets.
• Wrot Copper Construction: Provides superior strength and corrosion resistance compared to cast alternatives.
• High Pressure Rating: Rated for up to 700 psi, ensuring compatibility with modern high-pressure refrigerants.
• Industry Compliance: Meets ASME B16.22 and NSF 61 standards for universal application in mechanical and plumbing trades.

Common Questions

Is this fitting compatible with R-410A systems?
Yes, the 700 psi rating of this wrot copper elbow is sufficient for the high-pressure demands of R-410A and other common refrigerants.

What is the difference between 5/8" OD and 1/2" ID for this part?
In refrigeration, tubing is measured by outside diameter (5/8" OD), while in plumbing, it is typically referred to by nominal inside diameter (1/2" ID). This part fits both 5/8" refrigeration pipe and 1/2" nominal plumbing pipe.

Does this require a specific type of solder?
It is compatible with standard lead-free solders for plumbing or silver-bearing brazing alloys for high-pressure HVAC applications.
