The fitting accepts a 1\/2 inch OD FTG (fitting) inlet and reduces to a 3\/8 inch OD capillary (C) outlet, with corresponding IDs of 3\/8 inch and 1\/4 inch respectively. These reducers are standard components in plumbing and HVAC refrigerant or hydronic line installations wherever a pipe size reduction is required. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians using standard copper sweat-solder technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fitting reducer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where copper tubing transitions from a larger to a smaller diameter are needed. The FTG x C end configuration means one end is sized to slip over the outside of a fitting hub while the other end accepts standard copper tube. This configuration is common in branch line reductions, refrigerant line sets, domestic water distribution, and hydronic heating systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFTG x C end configuration for direct sweat-solder installation into copper piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlet: 1\/2 inch OD fitting-size (FTG) connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutlet: 3\/8 inch OD capillary (C) connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with standard lead-free solder and flux per plumbing code requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat-solder fitting reducer for use in standard copper tube plumbing and HVAC piping systems requiring a reduction from 1\/2 inch to 3\/8 inch OD tubing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with copper sweat-solder technique. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system completely before cutting into any line. Clean tube ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth and apply appropriate flux before soldering; use lead-free solder where required by local plumbing code. Follow all applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines for copper fitting joints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size (OD)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet ID\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size (OD)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet ID\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C\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: 13126\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DAKOTA SOURCING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51672684331314,"sku":"13126","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/fa0a1ca27f24c1759371b7e42f9a3643_ed52ed7b-d186-4f6e-9e54-319d5f17bc21.jpg?v=1787970988","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/dakota-sourcing-13126-copper-fitting-reducer-ftg-x-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
