It connects a 1.5-inch FTG (fitting) end to a 0.75-inch press end, allowing technicians to step down pipe size within a single connection. This type of fitting is used in pressurized water distribution lines and is installed without open flame, making it well suited for retrofit and new construction plumbing work. The MB12590 weighs 0.75 pounds and is a direct-install component that requires no soldering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where copper press-fit connections are specified. It is typically installed in domestic hot or cold water distribution piping where a transition from 1.5-inch to 0.75-inch copper pipe is required. Licensed plumbers working on press-fit systems will find this fitting compatible with standard press tooling used in copper press applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFTG x Press end configuration allows direct connection to copper pipe on the fitting end and press-fit on the outlet end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 1.5 inches to 0.75 inches in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo-flame installation eliminates torch work and associated fire risk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact design suitable for tight plumbing spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 0.75 pounds for straightforward single-tech handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for copper press-fit plumbing systems requiring a 1.5-inch FTG to 0.75-inch press reducing connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into the line or seating the fitting. Use a manufacturer-approved press tool with the correct jaw size for each end of this reducing coupling. Inspect the pipe ends for burrs and verify the pipe is fully inserted to the stop before pressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches (FTG)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 inches (Press)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.75 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 662545121758\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: MB12590\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233989132594,"sku":"MB12590","price":28.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307614502.jpg?v=1780114180","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-mb12590-ftg-x-press-reducing-coupling","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
