One end accepts a 3\/4-inch fitting connection and the other accepts a 5\/8-inch sweat (C) connection, making it a standard solution for step-down transitions in copper piping runs. Rated to 500 psi and suitable for temperatures ranging from 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F, this fitting meets the working demands of residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and refrigeration piping applications. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the typical installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducer coupling is used wherever a piping run must transition from 3\/4-inch to 5\/8-inch copper tubing. Common applications include domestic water distribution, radiant heating supply and return lines, and refrigerant piping stub-outs where line sizes change between equipment and distribution branches. It is a direct-fit copper sweat component suitable for both new construction and retrofit work. The compact profile, measuring 1.65 inches in height and 0.8 inches in width, allows installation in tight spaces such as wall cavities, mechanical closets, and equipment cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4-inch fitting connection on one end, 5\/8-inch sweat (C) connection on the other for a clean step-down transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated to 500 psi working pressure for reliable performance in pressurized systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature range of 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F covers standard plumbing and hydronic applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with standard lead-free solder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact dimensions of 1.65 x 0.8 x 0.8 inches fit in confined installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style copper sweat reducer coupling for use in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC, and hydronic piping systems that require a 3\/4-inch to 5\/8-inch diameter transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician using standard copper sweat-soldering tools including a torch, lead-free solder, and flux. Shut off and depressurize the water or refrigerant system and allow all lines to cool completely before cutting into existing piping. Clean and deburr both tube ends before applying flux and soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing codes and, where refrigerant piping is involved, EPA Section 608 handling requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: Sweat (C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum 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\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.65 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.055 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: 77296\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67948394676530,"sku":"77296","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/46183b4adbad95be288918907805933a.jpg?v=1791663402","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-77296-copper-reducer-coupling-3-4x5-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
