Elkhart Products COU-1X12 Reducer Coupling 1x0.5in Copper

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS COU-1X12 is a copper reducer coupling with an integrated stop, sized at 1 inch by 0.5 inch, designed for soldered copper-to-copper (CxC) connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Part of the KLEENFIT product line, it arrives pre-cleaned and bagged to maintain internal surface quality, reducing prep time before soldering. The built-in stop ensures consistent seating depth for a reliable, leak-free joint. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during new construction, renovation, or repair work wherever a transition from 1-inch to 0.5-inch copper tubing is required.

This fitting is suited for potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and general plumbing rough-in applications. The KLEENFIT pre-cleaned packaging keeps flux contamination off the fitting bore before installation, which is especially useful on job sites where clean fittings are needed right out of the bag. Its compact profile fits in standard stud-bay framing and tight chase installations without modification.

Key Features

• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic systems
• Integrated stop for consistent, repeatable insertion depth during soldering
• CxC solder connection compatible with standard copper tubing and lead-free solder
• KLEENFIT pre-cleaned and bagged to preserve internal surface condition
• Lightweight at 0.104 pounds, minimizing load in overhead or in-wall runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style drop-in reducer fitting for standard 1-inch to 0.5-inch copper tubing runs in residential and light commercial plumbing applications using CxC solder joints.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting and fitting. Clean mating tube ends and apply lead-free flux before soldering. Do not overheat the fitting body, as excessive heat can damage the internal stop and compromise the joint.
