It connects a 1.5-inch press end to a 0.5-inch press end without soldering, using a factory-installed EPDM o-ring that forms a leak-tight seal when activated with a compatible press tool. The body is constructed from lead-free, dezincification-resistant copper, meeting ASTM material and manufacturing standards. This coupling is installed by licensed plumbers in residential and light commercial applications where flame-free joining is required or preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is suited for domestic water distribution systems where a transition from 1.5-inch to 0.5-inch copper line is needed. The press-fit design eliminates open-flame soldering, making it appropriate for retrofits, tight spaces, and occupied structures where torch work presents a fire or code risk. The Leak Before Press feature allows the EPDM o-ring to weep if the joint is not fully pressed, giving the installer a visible indication of an incomplete connection before the system is put into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLead-free, dezincification-resistant copper body meets ASTM material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing geometry: 1.5 inches x 0.5 inches press-by-press (PxP) connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFactory-installed EPDM o-ring for reliable, solderless sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLeak Before Press technology provides visual confirmation of incomplete joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlame-free installation reduces fire risk and eliminates torch permits in many jurisdictions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press fitting for use in copper press-fit piping systems accepting 1.5-inch and 0.5-inch press connections with a compatible press tool and jaw set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a calibrated press tool fitted with the correct jaw size for each end of the coupling. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into the line. Ensure pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the tube stop before pressing. Verify each connection visually after pressing to confirm the o-ring indicator has not shown a pre-press leak condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Press (PxP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-free dezincification-resistant copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM o-ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASTM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Free\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: APOLLO VALVES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: COU112X12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"APOLLO VALVES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383615717682,"sku":"COU112X12","price":112.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312672469.png?v=1782602258","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/apollo-valves-cou112x12-reducing-press-coupling-copper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
