Elkhart Products 9008850CB Copper Fitting Reducer 1.5x0.75in

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9008850CB is a copper fitting reducer from the KLEENFIT product line, designed to transition between 1-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch copper tubing in pressure piping systems. It uses a solder-type FTG x C (fitting-to-copper) connection, making it a standard sweat fitting for potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing installations. The part is cleaned and bagged at the factory to meet cleanliness requirements for systems where contamination control matters. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of copper distribution systems in both residential and light commercial construction.

This reducer is suited for applications where a larger copper line must step down to a smaller branch line. Typical scenarios include domestic water supply distribution, branch takeoffs in radiant or baseboard heating loops, and service connections inside mechanical rooms. The FTG end accepts standard copper tubing, while the C end joins directly to copper tube. The KLEENFIT designation indicates the fitting has been cleaned and bagged for use in systems requiring degreased or contamination-free components prior to brazing or soldering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux all mating surfaces before applying heat; use appropriate lead-free solder for potable water systems. Do not apply excessive heat to the fitting body, as overheating can damage the fitting and compromise joint integrity.
