Midland Industries 77283 Copper Sweat Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 77283 is a copper sweat reducing coupling used to join two pipes of different diameters in a plumbing or hydronic system. It transitions from a 2.5-inch connection on one end to a 1-inch connection on the other, allowing a technician to reduce pipe diameter inline without additional adapters. Made from copper, this fitting is soldered in place using standard sweat connection methods. It weighs 0.64 pounds and is suited for water supply, heating, and general plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians working with copper piping systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This reducing coupling is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and refrigeration piping layouts where a pipe diameter change is required in a straight run. It fits into systems where a 2.5-inch main line feeds down to a 1-inch branch or secondary line. The sweat-end connections make it compatible with standard copper tubing and pipe assemblies that require a clean, soldered reduction.

Key Features

• Reduces from 2.5 inches to 1 inch in a single fitting
• Copper construction for durability and corrosion resistance in water and heating systems
• Sweat connection on both ends for a secure soldered joint
• Lightweight at 0.64 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for copper sweat piping systems requiring an inline reduction from 2.5-inch to 1-inch pipe diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting and fitting the coupling. Clean and flux all mating surfaces before applying heat to ensure a leak-free soldered joint. Do not apply excessive heat that could damage adjacent fittings or tubing.
