It connects a 5\/8-inch OD (1\/2-inch ID) tube on one end to a 1\/2-inch OD (3\/8-inch ID) tube on the other end using a copper-to-copper (C x C) solder joint configuration. This type of fitting is a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC refrigerant line work where pipe diameter changes are required within a run. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians using standard sweat soldering techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 13114 reducing coupling is suited for use in potable water supply systems, hydronic heating loops, drain and vent transitions where copper is specified, and refrigerant line sets requiring a step-down in tube diameter. It is appropriate for both new construction rough-in and retrofit service work where an existing line must be reduced to match a smaller connection point at a fixture, valve, or equipment port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper-to-copper (C x C) solder joint ends for secure, leak-resistant connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 5\/8-inch OD to 1\/2-inch OD in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard sweat soldering tools and lead-free solder per code requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact reducing coupling profile minimizes space requirements in tight chase or cabinet installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat fitting for use in copper tube systems following ASTM B88 Type L or Type M tubing standards in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system fully before cutting into any line. Clean and flux both tube ends and fitting sockets thoroughly before applying heat to ensure a complete, void-free solder joint. Use only lead-free solder for potable water applications as required by code.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge End OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge End ID\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End OD\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall End ID\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x C (Copper Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: DAKOTA SOURCING\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 13114\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DAKOTA SOURCING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51672542544178,"sku":"13114","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6228253634db8_56853243-4cfe-49cd-9a99-f335bc7efd77.jpg?v=1787968813","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dakota-sourcing-13114-copper-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
