The fitting transitions from a 3\/8-inch C (sweat) end to a 1\/8-inch C (sweat) end and is rated for working pressures up to 500 psi across a temperature range of 32 to 200 degrees F. The built-in stop ensures consistent seating depth during soldering, reducing the chance of incomplete joints. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use this type of fitting when downsizing copper line sets, instrument tubing runs, or small-diameter refrigerant or water supply branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducer coupling is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant piping, and instrumentation applications where a sweat-connected size reduction is required. It is a small-diameter fitting intended for low-volume tubing systems where a clean, permanent brazed or soldered joint is preferred over a mechanical or compression connection. The 3\/8 x 1\/8-inch configuration is commonly encountered in gauge lines, pilot lines, and secondary branch takeoffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 3\/8-inch C to 1\/8-inch C in a single inline fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIntegrated stop for consistent tubing insertion depth before soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated to 500 psi working pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 32 to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull copper construction for reliable sweat-soldered joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for copper sweat piping systems requiring a 3\/8-inch to 1\/8-inch inline reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable IPC or IFGC guidelines for sweat copper fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system and purge any residual fluid before cutting into an existing line. Clean and flux both tube ends and the fitting sockets thoroughly before applying heat and solder or braze alloy. Avoid overheating the fitting, as excessive heat can damage the stop and compromise joint integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat\/Solder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat\/Solder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32 to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.02 pounds\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: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 77254\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949660733746,"sku":"77254","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/48ce6a2b7c3d448d9601ea06531f8acf.jpg?v=1791697265","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77254-reducer-coupling-3-8-x-1-8-in-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
