This fitting transitions from 1\/4-inch to 1\/8-inch copper tubing and is built to the dimensional consistency expected of wrot copper fittings. The internal stop ensures accurate tube seating depth during assembly, improving joint reliability and reducing rework. It is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians in refrigeration, plumbing, and gas-distribution piping systems where a compact, pressure-rated transition fitting is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer coupling is suited for residential and light commercial applications where copper sweat fittings are specified. Typical uses include low-volume refrigerant line transitions, instrument tubing, and small-diameter plumbing branch connections. The C x C (cup by cup) end configuration accepts standard copper tube on both ends and is compatible with lead-free solder and appropriate flux per current plumbing codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWrot copper construction for consistent wall thickness and high-pressure integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated stop for accurate tube seating depth during solder assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/4-inch x 1\/8-inch transition supports small-diameter line reductions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC x C solder connection compatible with standard sweat-joint techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 0.43 x 0.78 x 0.43 inches for tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for small-diameter copper tube systems using C x C solder joints in plumbing and HVAC applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting or fitting. Clean tube ends and fitting cups thoroughly, apply an appropriate flux, and solder with a lead-free alloy where required by code. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the internal stop and compromise joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper (Wrot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: C x C (Cup by Cup) Solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches x 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.78 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.43 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Line\u003c\/strong\u003e: WROT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: 101R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 683264306844\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ELKHART PRODUCTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: COU-14X18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ELKHART PRODUCTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383326966066,"sku":"COU-14X18","price":40.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312672155.png?v=1782593351","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/elkhart-products-cou-14x18-reducer-coupling-1-4x1-8-copper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
