Sioux Chief 521-126 1/2" CTS Copper-Plated Pipe Bracket, 26-Gauge Steel

The Sioux Chief 521-126 is a 26-gauge steel pipe bracket sized for 1/2" CTS (copper tube size) tubing, finished with a copper-plated surface built for rough-in plumbing installations where copper tube must be secured and supported through wall studs or framing. The copper plating provides an extruded-hole surface designed to improve solderability at the bracket-to-tube connection, and the bracket is intended for use where copper tube runs need a fixed, code-ready support point behind the wall. This bracket ships in a 50 EA package, making it a practical bulk solution for plumbers and contractors running multiple copper tube drops on a job site.

Key Features

  • Trade Size: Sized for 1/2" CTS copper tube, matching standard copper supply line dimensions used in residential and light commercial rough-in.
  • Durable Construction: Fabricated from 26-gauge steel for a rigid, long-lasting support bracket suitable for in-wall and stud-mounted installations.
  • Copper-Plated Finish: The copper plating is engineered with extruded holes to deliver an improved soldering surface, supporting a cleaner solder joint between the bracket and the copper tube.
  • Soldering Guidance: When soldering the tube to the bracket, heat should be applied to the tube rather than the bracket itself, helping protect the bracket's finish and the integrity of the joint.
  • Bulk Packaging: Supplied 50 EA per package, suited to contractors and plumbing crews that need consistent bracket stock across multiple rough-in runs.

Sioux Chief 521-126 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sioux Chief 521-126 bracket fit 1/2 inch copper tube, or is it sized for 1/2 inch iron pipe?
It's sized for 1/2 inch CTS, copper tube size, which is the nominal sizing used for copper supply lines. That is not the same as 1/2 inch IPS iron pipe, so if you're strapping threaded steel or 1/2 inch nominal PEX, this is the wrong bracket. For 1/2 inch Type L or Type M copper supply drops, it matches.
2) Can you solder copper tube directly to the 521-126 pipe bracket?
Yes, that's what the copper plating is for. The bracket is copper-plated steel with extruded holes to give a better soldering surface at the bracket-to-tube joint. When you solder, put the torch on the tube, not on the bracket, so you don't burn the plating or starve the joint.
3) Is the 521-126 a drop-ear elbow or just a support bracket?
It's a pipe bracket, a support only. It secures and positions 1/2 inch CTS copper tube through or against framing; it is not a fitting and does not carry water or provide a threaded outlet for a stub-out. If you need a threaded female outlet anchored to the stud for a shower arm or hose bibb, you want a drop-ear elbow instead.
4) What gauge steel is the Sioux Chief 521-126 bracket, and is it stiff enough to hold a copper drop in place behind drywall?
The bracket is fabricated from 26-gauge steel with a copper-plated finish. It's built as a fixed support point for 1/2 inch CTS copper tube mounted to studs or framing behind the wall, so once it's fastened and the tube is soldered in, the drop stays put for the trim-out.
5) How many pipe brackets come in a box of Sioux Chief 521-126?
They ship 50 each per package. That's a bulk pack aimed at crews running multiple copper tube drops, so plan on ordering by the 50-count rather than by the piece.
6) What is the manufacturer part number for this Sioux Chief copper-plated pipe bracket?
The MPN is 521-126, from Sioux Chief. One model covers the line, so there's no size or finish option to pick, it's the 1/2 inch CTS copper-plated version.
7) Where is the Sioux Chief 521-126 bracket made?
Country of origin is China. If you're submitting on a job with domestic-sourcing requirements, that's the line item to flag.
8) What jobs is the Sioux Chief 521-126 copper bracket used on?
Residential and light commercial rough-in, new construction and renovation alike, anywhere 1/2 inch CTS copper supply runs need a fixed support point behind the wall. Typical use is stud-mounted tube support on soldered copper installations.
