Elkhart Products 9008000CB Copper Fitting Reducer 1/2x3/8

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9008000CB is a copper fitting reducer designed to transition between a 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch copper line in a sweat or press-fit piping system. This reducer is cleaned and bagged at the factory, keeping the interior free of contamination until installation. It is used in plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and hydronic systems where a reduction in line diameter is required at a fitting junction. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a copper-to-copper diameter change is needed. Typical install scenarios include domestic water distribution, ACR tubing runs, and hydronic heating or cooling loops. The cleaned and bagged packaging makes it appropriate for systems with strict cleanliness requirements, including refrigerant lines where contamination can damage compressors and expansion devices.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC requirements.
