2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Coupling Copper x Copper

2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Coupling – Built for Secure Transitions in Water Supply Systems

The 2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Coupling is designed for soldered connections where a reduction in line size is required. This fitting is commonly used in water distribution systems and meets code requirements for potable water applications. Its lead-free, high-purity copper construction provides long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance under normal plumbing conditions.

Product Features

• Material: Lead-free wrought copper per ASTM B75 or B88 standards
• Connection Type: Sweat/solder connection (C x C ends)
• Nominal Sizes: 2 inch socket x 1 inch socket
• Standards Compliance: ASME B16.22 and NSF/ANSI 61 & 372 certified
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for up to 200 psi in water supply applications

Benefits for Professional Installations

• Clean Fit-Up: Precisely machined sockets ensure uniform soldering and better capillary action for leak-free joints
• Corrosion Resistance: Copper alloy resists scaling and pitting in domestic water systems
• Thermal Endurance: Withstands elevated temperatures in hot water systems and hydronic heating applications
• Lead-Free Compliance: Fully compliant with federal Safe Drinking Water Act and low-lead regulations
• Mechanical Integrity: Uniform wall thickness supports pressure containment during soldering and system operation

Installation Guidance

Prepare tubing ends with a proper tubing cutter and reamer. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly and apply lead-free flux before soldering. Maintain heat control to ensure full solder flow into joint without overburning the flux. Use only approved solder alloys for potable water systems, and pressure-test the system per applicable codes before operation.

Common Applications

Ideal for municipal water supply lines, commercial plumbing systems, and hydronic loop transitions. The 2 inch x 1 inch reducing coupling is widely used when downsizing piping between mains and branches or connecting to existing reduced-size lines in renovation projects.

Did You Know?

Wrought copper fittings offer superior strength compared to cast brass or bronze and are often specified in commercial applications for consistent metallurgy and thermal performance.

The 2 inch x 1 inch Copper Reducing Coupling is a critical fitting when downsizing without compromising flow integrity. Designed to meet the demands of pressurized water systems, it ensures dependable performance and a cleaner installation profile for high-quality plumbing work.
