Description
Midland Copper Solder Joint Coupling With Dimple Stop - C x C
Midland Copper Solder Joint Couplings With Dimple Stops provide a straight inline connection between compatible copper tube sections. These C x C couplings use solder-joint / sweat connections on both ends and incorporate a dimple-style internal stop to help position the tubing during assembly.
This listing includes five dimple-stop configurations ranging from 1/2" through 2". Select the nominal size matching the copper tubing used in the piping system.

What Is a Dimple Stop Coupling?
A dimple-stop coupling uses formed dimples within the fitting to provide a positioning point for the copper tube during assembly.
- Helps position tubing inside the coupling
- Provides an insertion reference during installation
- Maintains a straight inline connection
- Uses equal nominal tube sizes on both ends
- Designed for compatible copper solder-joint systems
Dimple Stop vs. Standard Stop
Dimple Stop
Uses formed internal dimples to provide the tube-positioning stop within the coupling.
Standard Stop
Uses the standard internal stop configuration found in the separately listed Midland coupling-with-stop family.
C x C Connection
C x C means both sides of the coupling are cup-style connections designed to receive compatible copper tube.
- Same nominal connection size on both ends
- Straight-through copper connection
- Solder-joint installation
- Dimple stop assists with tube positioning

Solder Joint Installation
- Verify coupling and copper tube size before installation.
- Cut copper tubing squarely.
- Remove internal and external burrs.
- Clean tube ends and fitting sockets thoroughly.
- Use joining materials appropriate for the piping application.
- Insert tubing to the dimple stop.
- Use appropriate soldering and heating procedures.
- Allow completed joints to cool naturally.
Common Applications

How to Select the Correct Coupling
- Step 1: Identify the nominal copper tube size.
- Step 2: Confirm that the application requires a dimple-stop coupling.
- Step 3: Select the matching nominal size.
- Step 4: Confirm solder-joint installation is appropriate.
- Step 5: Verify the complete piping system before installation.

Installation Guidance
- Verify fitting and tube size before installation.
- Clean all mating copper surfaces before soldering.
- Insert each tube completely to the dimple stop.
- Use appropriate flux, solder, and heating procedures.
- Support piping to minimize mechanical stress on the completed joint.
- Allow joints to cool before pressure testing.
- Pressure-test the completed system according to applicable requirements.

What is a dimple stop?
A dimple stop uses formed points inside the coupling to help position the copper tube during installation.
What does C x C mean?
C x C means both ends are cup connections designed to receive compatible copper tube.
What sizes are included?
This listing includes 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", and 2" sizes.
Is this the same as the standard coupling with stop?
No. These SKUs specifically use the Midland dimple-stop configuration and are listed separately from the standard stop couplings.
What size is 77238?
77238 is the 1/2" C x C dimple-stop coupling.
What size is 77244?
77244 is the 2" C x C dimple-stop coupling.
Important Ordering Notes
- This listing contains five Midland dimple-stop copper couplings.
- Standard-stop couplings are listed separately.
- All variants use equal-size C x C connections.
- Verify nominal copper tube size before ordering.
