Elkhart Products 9008020CB Copper Fitting Reducer 1/2x1/4

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9008020CB is a copper fitting reducer designed to transition between 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch tubing in soldered copper piping systems. Part of the KLEENFIT product line, this fitting arrives cleaned and bagged to meet cleanliness standards required for refrigeration and HVAC applications where contamination-free fittings are essential. The FTG x C connection style allows the fitting end to socket directly into a standard copper fitting cup, while the sweat end accepts standard copper tubing. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics using standard solder and flux.

This reducer is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a copper line must step down from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch. The KLEENFIT designation indicates the fitting has been cleaned and bagged at the factory, making it appropriate for use in refrigerant lines, medical gas systems, and other applications where internal contamination cannot be tolerated. The compact dimensions and lightweight construction make it easy to work into tight spaces during new installation or retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, HVAC technician, or refrigeration mechanic familiar with soldered copper fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Clean all mating surfaces and apply appropriate flux before soldering; follow local plumbing codes and IFGC guidelines for joint preparation and inspection. Do not overheat the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise the joint.
