Elkhart Products FR-4X2 Copper Reducer 4x2 in Ftg X C

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS FR-4X2 is a wrought copper fitting reducer designed to transition between 4-inch and 2-inch copper pipe in pressure piping systems. It uses a FTG x C (fitting-to-copper) connection configuration and is joined by soldering, making it compatible with standard copper sweat installation practices. At 2.003 pounds, this is a substantial fitting suited for commercial and industrial plumbing applications where a reliable, leak-free reduction in line diameter is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This reducer is part of the Elkhart Products Wrot copper fitting line, which is manufactured to meet the dimensional and material standards expected in pressure piping systems. It is appropriate for residential and commercial plumbing systems where copper pipe is used and a reduction from a 4-inch main to a 2-inch branch or service line is needed. The FTG end accepts a copper pipe or fitting cup for in-line installation flexibility.
