Elkhart Products 2 X 1 1/2 Copper Fitting Reducer

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 2 X 1 1/2 is a copper fitting reducer designed to transition a 2-inch fitting connection down to a 1-1/2-inch copper fitting. This type of reducer is a standard component in residential and commercial plumbing systems where pipe size changes are required within a copper supply or drain line. The fitting measures approximately 2.80 inches in length with a 2.24-inch diameter profile and weighs 0.37 pounds. It is installed by licensed plumbers and qualified pipefitters during new construction, remodel, or repair work on copper piping systems.

This reducer is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and other copper piping applications where a fitting-to-copper connection is required at a 2-inch to 1-1/2-inch reduction. The all-copper construction makes it compatible with standard sweat-solder joining methods used throughout the trade. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial plumbing installations.
