Elkhart Products 2 X 1/2 Re Copper Reducer Coupling

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 2 X 1/2 RE is a wrot copper reducer coupling with stop, designed to connect a 2-inch copper pipe to a 1/2-inch copper pipe in a single inline fitting. The integrated stop ensures consistent insertion depth during assembly, reducing the risk of misalignment before soldering. The fitting uses a standard capillary solder (C x C) connection on both ends. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling on potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution systems where a significant diameter reduction is required without additional adapters.

This reducer coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications. It is commonly used when transitioning from a main supply line down to a branch line or fixture connection. The C x C sweat connection requires flux, solder, and a torch, making it a standard task for licensed plumbers working under IPC or local plumbing code requirements. The fitting weighs 0.420 pounds and fits within a compact envelope, making it practical in tight mechanical spaces.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for reliable pressure performance in plumbing systems
• Integrated stop ensures correct pipe seating depth before soldering
• C x C capillary solder ends on both sides for a leak-free sweat joint
• Reduces from 2 inches to 1/2 inches in a single fitting, eliminating extra adapters
• Compact dimensions at 2.26 x 2.96 x 2.26 inches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 2-inch and 1/2-inch copper tube conforming to ASTM B88 Type L or Type K specifications in C x C sweat connection configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and fully drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces thoroughly before applying heat and solder to achieve a proper capillary joint. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise joint integrity.
