Legend Valve 118-IE Wrot Copper Reducer Coupling 5/8x3/8

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 118-IE is a wrot copper reducer coupling designed to connect tubing of two different diameters in a single fitting. It transitions from a 5/8-inch end to a 3/8-inch end, making it a reliable choice for reducing pipe size within a copper piping system. Wrot copper construction means the fitting is wrought — formed from solid copper stock — giving it superior pressure integrity and compatibility with standard sweat-solder joining methods. Plumbers and HVAC technicians regularly specify wrot copper fittings where consistent metallurgy and joint reliability are required.

This reducer coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, refrigeration line sets, and HVAC piping applications where a 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch copper-to-copper transition is needed. It is installed using standard sweat-soldering technique with compatible lead-free solder and flux per local plumbing code requirements. The fitting accepts standard copper tubing on both ends.

Key Features

• Wrot copper construction for consistent grain structure and pressure integrity
• Reducer design transitions 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch copper tubing in one fitting
• Compatible with standard sweat-solder joining method
• Suitable for plumbing, HVAC, and hydronic piping systems
• Lead-free construction meets modern plumbing code requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style sweat-connection reducer coupling compatible with standard 5/8-inch and 3/8-inch copper tubing used in residential and commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician using standard sweat-soldering tools including a torch, lead-free solder, and appropriate flux. Shut off and drain the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements for solder and flux material selection. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly with a fitting brush and emery cloth before applying flux to ensure a sound joint.
