Description
Domestic Cleaned & Bagged Wrot Copper Male Adapter – FTG x MIP
Domestic cleaned and bagged FTG x MIP wrot copper male adapters transition from a female copper fitting socket to a male threaded connection. The male copper fitting end inserts directly into a compatible female copper sweat socket, while the male pipe-thread connection threads into a compatible female NPT component.

How an FTG x MIP Male Adapter Works
The male copper fitting end inserts directly into a compatible female copper sweat socket. The opposite male threaded end connects to a compatible female NPT valve, fitting, equipment port, or other threaded component. The copper connection is soldered or brazed, while the threaded connection is assembled using an approved sealing method.
FTG x MIP Adapter vs. C x MIP Adapter
FTG x MIP Male Adapter
- Uses a male copper fitting end
- Inserts directly into a female copper fitting socket
- Has external male pipe threads on the opposite end
- Creates a compact fitting-to-threaded connection
C x MIP Male Adapter
- Uses a female copper sweat socket
- Fits over properly sized copper tube
- Has external male pipe threads on the opposite end
- Creates a tube-to-threaded connection
Cleaned & Bagged Construction
Each adapter is cleaned and enclosed in protective packaging to help preserve the condition of the copper fitting end and threaded connection during storage, transportation, and handling. Keep the fitting sealed in its original bag until immediately before installation.
Cleaned and bagged copper components are commonly specified for piping systems where dirt, oil, grease, moisture, metal particles, and other contaminants must be carefully controlled. Confirm that the fitting, cleaning level, packaging, joining procedure, thread-sealing method, and installation requirements satisfy the project specifications and applicable codes.

- Maintenance and retrofit work
Installation Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal size before ordering.
- Verify that the receiving copper connection is a compatible female fitting socket.
- Confirm that the mating threaded component has compatible female NPT threads.
- Keep the fitting sealed until immediately before installation.
- Handle the fitting using clean gloves and approved tools when required.
- Do not use the fitting if the protective package is damaged or the fitting appears contaminated.
- Inspect the male copper fitting end and male pipe threads before assembly.
- Clean and prepare the fitting end and receiving copper socket using approved procedures.
- Insert the male fitting end fully into the receiving female copper fitting socket.
- Use approved solder, brazing alloy, purge gas, flux, and joining procedures.
- Allow the copper joint to cool before assembling the threaded connection.
- Use only a thread-sealing method approved for the system and piping media.
- Prevent thread-sealing material from entering the piping system.
- Use proper wrenching techniques and avoid overtightening or overstressing the copper adapter.
- Follow applicable medical-gas procedures when installed in medical-gas piping.
- Pressure-test and inspect the completed system before placing it into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an FTG x MIP copper male adapter?
It is a straight copper adapter with a male copper fitting end on one side and a male NPT connection on the other side.
What does FTG x MIP mean?
FTG identifies a male copper fitting end that inserts into a female copper fitting socket. MIP identifies a male pipe-thread connection that threads into a compatible female NPT component.
Does the copper end fit over copper tube?
No. The male fitting end inserts into a compatible female copper fitting socket rather than fitting over copper tube.
What connects to the male threaded end?
The male NPT connection threads into a compatible female threaded fitting, valve, equipment connection, or other component.
Is this the same as a C x MIP male adapter?
No. A C x MIP adapter has a female copper socket that fits over tube. This adapter has a male fitting end that inserts directly into another copper fitting.
Can the copper fitting end be brazed?
Yes, when brazing is appropriate and completed using approved materials, procedures, purge requirements, and applicable codes.
Can the copper fitting end be soldered?
It may be soldered when permitted by the application, project specifications, and applicable codes.
Should the threaded connection be assembled before brazing?
The copper joint should generally be completed and allowed to cool before the threaded connection is assembled. Follow the approved project procedure.
Why is the fitting cleaned and bagged?
The protective packaging helps prevent dirt, oil, grease, moisture, metal particles, and other contaminants from contacting the fitting before installation.
Is this a domestic copper fitting?
Yes. It is listed as a domestic cleaned and bagged wrot copper fitting manufactured by Cello Products.
Can it be used in medical-gas piping?
It may be used when the fitting, cleaning level, packaging, joining procedure, thread-sealing method, and installation satisfy the project specifications and applicable medical-gas requirements.
