Elkhart Products Wrot Copper Reducer Coupling 1/2x1/4 Cxc

Product Description

The ELKHART PRODUCTS 1/2" X 1/4 is a wrot copper reducer coupling with stop, designed for sweat-solder connections in residential and commercial copper tubing systems. Following the Model 101R specification, it steps down a 1/2-inch line to a 1/4-inch line using a C x C (copper-to-copper) end configuration. The integral stop ensures consistent insertion depth, which promotes a clean, uniform solder joint every time. Weighing 0.025 pounds and measuring 0.70 x 1.06 x 0.70 inches, this fitting is compact and suited for tight-space rough-in work. Plumbers and HVAC technicians rely on wrot copper fittings like this one for their pressure rating integrity and reliable long-term performance in potable water, refrigerant, and hydronic piping applications.

This reducer coupling is used wherever a copper tubing run must transition from a 1/2-inch nominal pipe size down to a 1/4-inch nominal pipe size. Common installation scenarios include branch line reductions in domestic water supply systems, HVAC refrigerant line sets, and hydronic heating distribution piping. The C x C end style means both ends accept standard copper tubing for a solder connection, making it compatible with conventional torch-and-flux sweat installation methods used by licensed plumbing and mechanical contractors.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for high-pressure integrity and corrosion resistance
• C x C (copper-to-copper) solder end connections on both ends
• Integral stop ensures consistent tube insertion depth for uniform solder joints
• Compact size at 0.70 x 1.06 x 0.70 inches fits tight rough-in spaces
• Lightweight at 0.025 pounds, minimizing load on small-diameter branch lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wrot copper fitting for use with standard 1/2-inch and 1/4-inch nominal copper tubing in solder-joint piping systems per ASTM B88 and applicable plumbing codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or mechanical contractor in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system and allow all piping to cool completely before cutting and fitting. Clean all tube ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth and apply a lead-free flux before soldering. Do not apply heat directly to the fitting body for an extended period; heat the tube near the fitting socket to draw solder into the joint by capillary action.
