The integral stop ensures consistent, repeatable insertion depth during soldering, reducing the chance of a dry joint. Rated to 500 psi and suitable for service temperatures from 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for potable water supply, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution lines. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The fitting weighs approximately 0.17 pounds and measures 2.15 inches in height with a 1.4 inch by 1.4 inch footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a copper main or branch line steps down from 1-1\/4 inch nominal to 1 inch nominal tubing. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water distribution, recirculation loops, and hydronic baseboard piping. The sweat connection type requires standard solder-and-flux technique on cleaned, deburred tube ends. No mechanical tools beyond a pipe cutter and fitting brush are required for the joint preparation itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegral stop ensures consistent tube insertion depth for reliable solder joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 500 psi for use in high-pressure potable water and hydronic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature range of 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance and long service life in water piping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile at 2.15 inches tall aids installation in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style sweat fitting compatible with standard 1-1\/4 inch and 1 inch nominal copper tubing per ASTM B88 specifications in residential and commercial plumbing systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into an existing line. Clean tube ends and fitting cups thoroughly with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering. Allow the joint to cool fully before restoring system pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1-1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: C (Sweat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32 degrees F 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.15 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.17 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 77268\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948553535794,"sku":"77268","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/9cea6eb7f7eb8078e1b5e04666fa54df.jpg?v=1791666927","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77268-reducer-coupling-1-1-4-x-1-in-copper","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
