It transitions from a 2.125-inch fitting (FTG) end to a 1.625-inch cup (C) end, allowing a technician to step down pipe diameter at a joint without additional adapters. The FTG x C configuration means the male fitting end slides into a standard cup fitting on one side, while the cup end receives standard copper tubing on the other. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing bushing is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic or refrigerant piping applications where a pipe size reduction is needed inline. The FTG x C connection style is common in sweat-solder assemblies, making this bushing a straightforward addition to any copper pipe rough-in or service repair involving a size transition from 2.125 inches to 1.625 inches. It is sold in a box quantity of 15, making it practical for contractors stocking for multiple jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 2.125-inch FTG (fitting) end to 1.625-inch C (cup) end in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFTG x C connection type is compatible with standard sweat-solder assembly methods\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance suited for water and refrigerant service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBox quantity of 15 supports multi-job contractor stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact bushing form eliminates the need for a full coupling or union when reducing pipe size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style copper reducing bushing for use in standard sweat-solder copper piping assemblies requiring a transition from a 2.125-inch fitting connection to a 1.625-inch cup connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician following applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC or IPC guidelines where relevant. Shut off the water supply or isolate the refrigerant circuit and relieve system pressure before beginning any work. Clean and flux all mating surfaces before soldering, and allow the joint to cool fully before restoring system pressure. Do not overtighten or force misaligned fittings, as copper is subject to deformation under excess mechanical stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBasic Fitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Fitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Connection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FTG x C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.125 inches x 1.625 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBox Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\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: NDL INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: W1358\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NDL INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383026942258,"sku":"W1358","price":23.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312670930.jpg?v=1782585964","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ndl-industries-w1358-copper-reducing-bushing-ftg-x-c","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
