5/8 inch x 1/2 inch Copper Bushing Fitting x Copper

Precision-Made 5/8 inch x 1/2 inch Copper Bushing – For Secure, Long-Lasting Transitions

This 5/8 inch x 1/2 inch copper reducing bushing is engineered for reliable performance in soldered copper tubing systems, ensuring accurate transitions between different pipe sizes. Commonly used in both residential and commercial potable water systems, this fitting supports seamless integration while maintaining flow efficiency and structural integrity.

Key Advantages

• Lead-Free Copper Construction: Fabricated from high-grade UNS C12200 copper, compliant with ASTM B75 and ANSI/NSF 61 & 372 standards for potable water safety.
• Precise Dimensional Tolerances: Manufactured to meet ASME B16.22 specifications, enabling dependable soldered joints with standard type L, M, or K copper tubing.
• Reduced Joint Count: Allows for direct transition between 5/8 inch OD tubing (typically 1/2 inch nominal CTS) and 1/2 inch tubing, minimizing the need for multiple fittings and decreasing potential leak points.
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Ideal for long-term service in potable hot and cold water systems, hydronic heating, and chilled water lines.
• High Pressure and Temperature Ratings: Suitable for up to 200 psi and temperatures exceeding 400°F in soldered applications, depending on joint type and solder alloy used.

Applications

This copper bushing is typically installed in:

• Potable water distribution systems
• Mechanical piping layouts requiring pipe size transitions
• Hydronic and HVAC systems
• Retrofits where adapting different tube sizes is necessary

Installation Notes

This bushing is designed for soldering into fittings or copper tubing. Ensure pipe ends are properly cleaned and fluxed before heating. Always use a lead-free solder alloy in accordance with local and national codes. Adequate cooling time must be observed before pressurizing the system.

Did You Know?

Lead-free copper fittings not only meet modern health and safety regulations, but also provide excellent antimicrobial properties, making them a preferred material in domestic water supply systems.

The 5/8 inch x 1/2 inch copper reducing bushing offers a secure, code-compliant solution for adapting between pipe sizes without compromising flow or durability. Engineered for high-performance systems and long service life, this fitting is a dependable choice for professionals demanding precision and consistency.
