Macomb Group Approved 10030168 Wrot Copper Reducing Adapter

Product Description

The MACOMB GROUP APPROVED 10030168 is a wrot copper reducing female adapter designed for solder joint connections in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. It transitions a 1-inch copper tube end to a 1/2-inch female NPT threaded fitting, allowing copper tubing runs to connect directly to threaded pipe or equipment ports. Rated to 490 psi and suitable for temperatures from -20 degrees F to 100 degrees F, this adapter handles demanding residential and light commercial applications. The wrot construction delivers consistent wall thickness and a clean, leak-resistant solder joint when installed correctly by a licensed plumber or pipefitter.

This reducing adapter is used in residential and industrial plumbing installations where a copper water line must transition to a threaded female connection. Typical applications include supply line tie-ins, equipment connections, and branch reductions in potable water systems. It conforms to MSS-SP-104 and ASME/ANSI B16.22 dimensional standards, and it is certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 61 for use in systems conveying potable water. This fitting is a sweat-end, non-DWV, non-cast product intended for pressure service.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial copper pressure piping systems using standard 1-inch copper tube with 1/2-inch female NPT threaded terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering. Clean and flux both mating surfaces thoroughly before applying heat; overheating a wrot copper fitting can compromise the joint. Allow the joint to cool completely before restoring system pressure.
