Midland Industries 77269 Reducer Coupling 1-1/4 X 3/4 in C

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 77269 is a copper reducer coupling with stop designed for sweat (solder) connections, joining a 1-1/4 inch C connection to a 3/4 inch C connection in a single inline fitting. The integral stop ensures consistent depth seating during assembly, which promotes a uniform solder joint and reduces the chance of misalignment. Rated to 400 psi and compatible with operating temperatures from 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting is built for reliable service in domestic water supply, HVAC hydronic, and general copper plumbing systems. Plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This fitting is used wherever a copper sweat line transitions from a 1-1/4 inch pipe to a 3/4 inch pipe. Typical applications include residential and light commercial water distribution systems, branch line reductions, and hydronic heating loops where pipe diameter changes are required. The C x C end configuration means both ends accept standard copper tube sweat connections, making it a straightforward drop-in for new construction or retrofit work.

Key Features

• Integral stop ensures consistent tube seating depth for reliable solder joints
• Rated to 400 psi for high-pressure copper plumbing applications
• Operating temperature range of 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F
• 1-1/4 in C x 3/4 in C sweat end configuration for inline reducing connections
• Solid copper construction for corrosion resistance and long service life
• Lightweight at 0.17 pounds, minimizing added load on piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for copper sweat plumbing systems using standard 1-1/4 inch and 3/4 inch copper tube conforming to ASTM specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and drain the water supply completely before cutting into any existing line. Clean and flux both tube ends and fitting sockets thoroughly before soldering to ensure a sound, leak-free joint. Do not apply flame directly to the fitting stop area longer than necessary, as overheating can compromise the joint integrity.
