It accepts a 2-inch connection on one end and a 3\/4-inch connection on the other, allowing a plumber or pipefitter to reduce line size within a run without additional fittings. The coupling is made from copper and is designed for soldered sweat connections. At 0.41 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece fitting suited for both residential and light commercial installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is used wherever a copper supply or distribution line steps down from 2 inches to 3\/4 inch. Typical applications include domestic water supply systems, hydronic heating distribution branches, and recirculation lines. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on new construction or retrofit projects where pipe sizing changes are required at a junction or branch takeoff point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 2-inch to 3\/4-inch copper pipe in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper construction for soldered sweat connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.41 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece design eliminates the need for additional adapters at the reduction point\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation fitting for copper sweat piping systems requiring a 2-inch to 3\/4-inch reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before cutting and fitting. Clean and flux both the pipe ends and the fitting sockets before soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not apply heat unevenly or overheat the fitting during the sweat process, as this can compromise the solder 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: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper Sweat\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: 0.41 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: 77278\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67950423769394,"sku":"77278","price":29.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a93ae6196860d3d0fbe5141019c02b35.jpg?v=1791717140","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77278-copper-reducing-coupling-2x3-4-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
