2-1/2 inch Copper Coupling less Stop Copper x Copper

2-1/2 inch Copper Slip Coupling – Precision Fit for Permanent Water Line Repairs

The 2-1/2 inch Copper Slip Coupling is designed for use in commercial and residential copper piping systems where a section of pipe requires replacement or extension without disturbing existing joints. Fabricated from high-grade, lead-free wrought copper, this fitting provides a smooth, uninterrupted inner diameter to maintain full flow and is suitable for use in potable water, chilled water, and hydronic heating systems.

This coupling features a solder joint connection at both ends and lacks a center stop, allowing for slip functionality. It is particularly effective in tight spaces or when precise length adjustments are needed to complete a repair or reroute. Manufactured in accordance with applicable industry standards, it ensures mechanical integrity and compatibility with copper tube sized (CTS) piping.

Key Product Features

• ✅ Material: Wrought Copper (C12200), lead-free per NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 requirements
• ✅ Nominal Size: 2-1/2 inch
• ✅ Type: Slip (repair) coupling with solder socket ends
• ✅ Standard Compliance: ASME B16.22, NSF/ANSI 61 & 372, ASTM B75
• ✅ Operating Pressure: Suitable for up to 200 PSI in water systems (dependent on soldering and system conditions)

Installation Considerations

Proper installation of this coupling requires cleaning and fluxing of mating surfaces followed by soldering to ensure a leak-free seal. The absence of an internal stop permits the fitting to slide completely onto a pipe segment, which allows for precise placement during system repair or modification. Use of a heat shield and appropriate solder alloy is recommended. Ensure compliance with local code requirements for potable systems and brazing in high-temperature applications.

Common Applications

This 2-1/2 inch copper slip coupling is commonly used in:

• Hot and cold potable water distribution systems
• Hydronic heating loops
• Commercial pipe repair or rerouting
• Industrial water supply lines

Did You Know?

The use of slip couplings helps minimize demolition and labor in re-piping scenarios by allowing the installer to insert a replacement pipe section without needing to alter or cut additional fittings upstream or downstream. When combined with proper soldering techniques, this results in permanent, code-compliant connections that maintain the full flow characteristics of the original system.

Choose the 2-1/2 inch Copper Slip Coupling for applications demanding precision, code compliance, and long-term system reliability. Its robust construction and engineering make it a preferred choice for professionals working on new installations or repairs involving Type L or M copper tubing.
