Elkhart Products 9009450 Wrot Copper Reducer 2.5x1.25 Ftg X C

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 9009450 is a wrot copper reducing fitting designed to connect a 2.5-inch fitting-end (FTG) outlet to a 1.25-inch cup-end (C) inlet in pressure piping systems. Wrot copper construction means the fitting is wrought, not cast, giving it a tighter grain structure and consistent wall thickness suited for soldered joints. This reducer is used where a pipe run steps down in diameter and a secure, leak-free sweat connection is required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply, hydronic heating, and refrigeration piping systems where copper is the specified material.

This fitting is appropriate for new construction and retrofit applications where a 2.5-inch main line reduces to a 1.25-inch branch or sub-run. The FTG x C end configuration allows the fitting to slide over an existing pipe end on the larger side while accepting a standard copper tube on the smaller side, making it well-suited for in-line reductions without additional adapters. It conforms to ASME B16.22 dimensional standards for wrot copper solder-joint pressure fittings, which are widely specified in plumbing and mechanical work.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction provides uniform wall thickness and a smooth interior bore for minimal flow restriction
• 2.5-inch FTG (fitting-end) x 1.25-inch C (cup-end) configuration for in-line diameter reduction
• Sweat-solder joint compatible with standard 50/50 or lead-free solder per applicable plumbing codes
• Sized to ASME B16.22 standards for wrot copper solder-joint fittings
• Suitable for water supply, hydronic, and light refrigeration copper piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wrot copper solder-joint reducer for use in residential and commercial copper pressure piping systems requiring a 2.5-inch FTG to 1.25-inch C transition.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM B88 copper tube standards. Shut off and drain the affected water or fluid line fully before cutting and fitting. Clean and flux both the pipe end and fitting socket before applying heat; use only lead-free solder where potable water service is involved per IPC and IFGC requirements. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can burn flux and result in a void in the solder joint.
