Description
Midland Copper Solder Joint Coupling Without Stop - C x C
Midland Copper Solder Joint Couplings Without Stops provide an inline connection between compatible copper tube sections. These C x C couplings use cup-style solder-joint connections on both ends and do not include an internal tube stop.
The no-stop design allows the fitting to slide farther along the copper tube than a standard stopped coupling, making it useful for repair work, piping modifications, and installations where the coupling needs to move completely over one tube before being repositioned across the joint.

What Is a Coupling Without a Stop?
A standard copper coupling typically includes an internal stop that helps center the two tube ends. A coupling without a stop has an open internal bore that allows the fitting to slide farther along the copper tube.
- No internal centering stop
- Can slide completely over compatible tubing
- Useful when repairing a section of existing copper pipe
- Can be repositioned over a prepared tube joint
- Both connections use the same nominal tube size
Common Repair Use
No-stop couplings are especially useful when repairing existing copper piping where the tube cannot be spread apart enough to install a standard coupling.
- Slide the no-stop coupling completely onto one tube section.
- Position the repaired or replacement tube section.
- Slide the coupling back across the joint.
- Center the fitting manually over the tube ends.
- Complete the solder-joint installation using appropriate procedures.
C x C Connection
C x C indicates cup connections on both ends of the coupling. Both openings are designed to receive compatible copper tube.
- Same nominal connection size on both ends
- Inline straight connection
- Solder-joint installation
- No internal tube stop

No-Stop vs. Standard Coupling
Without Stop
The fitting can slide farther along the tube, making it especially useful for repairs and retrofits.
With Stop
An internal tube stop helps center the tube ends during normal new-construction assembly.
Solder Joint Installation
- Confirm coupling and copper tube size before installation.
- Cut tubing squarely.
- Remove internal and external burrs.
- Clean tubing and fitting surfaces thoroughly.
- Dry-fit and position the coupling before soldering.
- Manually center no-stop couplings over the tube joint.
- Use flux, solder, and heating procedures appropriate for the application.
- Allow the completed joint to cool naturally.
Common Applications
Repair & Maintenance
- Copper pipe repairs
- Replacement of damaged tube sections
- Retrofit piping work
- Maintenance modifications
- Restricted-access repairs
- Existing copper piping systems
Plumbing & Mechanical
- Copper water piping
- Heating systems
- Cooling systems
- Mechanical rooms
- Commercial piping
- Industrial copper tube systems
How to Select the Correct Coupling
- Step 1: Identify the nominal copper tube size.
- Step 2: Confirm that a no-stop coupling is appropriate for the installation.
- Step 3: Select the corresponding nominal size.
- Step 4: Confirm adequate access for tube preparation and soldering.
- Step 5: Manually center the coupling over the joint before completing the connection.

Installation Guidance
- Verify the copper tube size before installation.
- Remember that the fitting does not contain an internal centering stop.
- Mark the intended joint location if necessary before positioning the coupling.
- Clean all mating copper surfaces before soldering.
- Center the fitting manually over the joint.
- Use appropriate solder-joint procedures.
- Support the piping to avoid movement while soldering.
- Pressure-test the completed piping system according to applicable requirements.
Our pipe, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your copper tube size, no-stop coupling requirements, solder-joint installation, repair layout, fitting position, piping access, and application before you order.

What does without stop mean?
It means the coupling does not have an internal tube stop, allowing it to slide farther over compatible copper tube.
Why use a coupling without a stop?
No-stop couplings are useful for repairs because the fitting can slide completely over one tube section and then be repositioned across the joint.
What does C x C mean?
C x C means both ends are cup-style connections designed to receive compatible copper tube.
What sizes are included?
This listing includes priced variants from 1/8" through 4".
