It transitions from a 1-1\/2 inch connection to a 1\/2 inch connection using a press-fit mechanism, eliminating the need for open flame during installation. Wrot copper construction delivers reliable corrosion resistance and long service life in both hot and cold water systems. This fitting is well suited for plumbing and mechanical contractors working in environments where torch-free connections are required or preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reduction in line size is needed within a copper piping system. The press-fit design is commonly used in retrofit and new construction work, particularly in occupied buildings or areas with fire restrictions where soldering is not practical. It installs quickly with a standard press tool, making it a time-efficient choice for service calls and rough-in work alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTorch-free press-fit connection on both ends for flame-free installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrot copper construction for durability and corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1-1\/2 inches to 1\/2 inches in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress x Press configuration for consistent, repeatable joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard copper press tooling systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press-fit replacement fitting for use in standard copper piping systems requiring a 1-1\/2 inch to 1\/2 inch diameter reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with press-fit copper systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before fitting installation. Use a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for each end of the fitting — 1-1\/2 inch and 1\/2 inch jaws are required. Verify the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the depth mark before pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Wrot Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Category\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701470387\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: BMI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 47038\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51467378721074,"sku":"47038","price":43.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/313947269.png?v=1783902836","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-47038-wrot-copper-press-fit-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
