Elkhart Products COU-12X14 Copper Reducer Coupling 1/2x1/4

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS COU-12X14 is a copper reducer coupling with an integrated stop, designed for solder-joint (sweat) connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Sized at 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch with a C x C (copper-to-copper) connection type, this fitting reduces line size in a single joint without adapters or additional fittings. It is part of the KLEENFIT product line, which means it arrives cleaned and bagged from the factory, reducing prep time on the job. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction, remodel work, and system modifications where a step-down in pipe diameter is required.

This reducer coupling is suited for residential and light commercial potable water and hydronic applications where copper sweat fittings are specified. The built-in stop positions the pipe consistently during assembly, helping ensure a full, clean solder joint every time. It is appropriate for use in supply lines, branch connections, and any run where a transition from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch copper tubing is needed.

• Copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life in water systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for copper sweat plumbing systems requiring a 1/2 inch by 1/4 inch reduction in line size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before cutting and fitting. Although this fitting arrives pre-cleaned, follow standard practice of fluxing mating surfaces immediately before assembly and heat application. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the copper and compromise the joint integrity.
