Midland Industries 77367 Copper Sweat Reducing Coupling

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 77367 is a copper sweat reducing coupling designed to connect two pipes of different diameters in a single inline transition. It accepts a 2-1/2 inch connection on one end and a 1-1/2 inch connection on the other, making it a practical solution for reducing line size within a plumbing or hydronic system. This type of fitting is sweat-soldered in place, creating a clean, leak-resistant joint suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and related copper piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters handle this fitting as part of routine pipe sizing and distribution work.

The 77367 is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a pipe run transitions from a 2-1/2 inch main to a 1-1/2 inch branch or sub-main. Typical installations include domestic water distribution headers, hydronic heating supply and return lines, and recirculation systems. The sweat connection style is standard for copper piping and integrates cleanly into existing copper infrastructure without the need for threaded adapters or mechanical couplings.

Key Features

• Inline reducing connection from 2-1/2 inches to 1-1/2 inches in a single fitting
• Copper sweat end connections for soldered, leak-resistant joints
• Compact, single-piece construction simplifies installation in tight spaces
• Suitable for potable water and hydronic heating copper piping systems
• Minimum order quantity of 1 unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for copper sweat piping systems using 2-1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch reducing couplings.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before cutting and fitting. Clean and flux both pipe ends and the fitting sockets thoroughly before applying heat and solder for a proper sweat joint. Do not apply flame directly to the fitting body for extended periods, as overheating can compromise the joint integrity.
