Elkhart Products 3/4 X 1/2 Copper Reducer Coupling with Stop

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 3/4 X 1/2 is a wrot copper reducer coupling with stop, designed to transition between 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch copper pipe in sweat-solder (C x C) applications. The integral stop ensures consistent pipe seating depth, which improves joint quality and reduces the risk of solder voids. At 0.061 pounds, this fitting is compact and lightweight, sized at approximately 0.97 inches by 1.45 inches by 0.97 inches. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial potable water, hydronic heating, and general copper distribution systems.

This reducer coupling is suited for any application requiring a concentric reduction from 3/4-inch to 1/2-inch copper tubing using a sweat connection. Typical scenarios include branch takeoffs in domestic hot and cold water distribution, baseboard hydronic loops, and in-wall rough-in plumbing where pipe size changes between supply mains and fixture branches. The wrot construction delivers consistent wall thickness and precise dimensional tolerances required for reliable soldered joints.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for precise dimensional tolerances and reliable solder joints
• Integral stop ensures consistent pipe insertion depth on both ends
• C x C (sweat solder) connection on both ends — no press tools required
• Reduces from 3/4 inches to 1/2 inches in a single compact fitting
• Lightweight at 0.061 pounds — suitable for in-wall and tight-space installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 3/4-inch and 1/2-inch copper tubing in sweat-solder plumbing systems per ASTM and ASME B16.22 wrot copper fitting standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and fully drain the affected lines before cutting and fitting. Clean all pipe ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise joint integrity.
