Nibco PCH600DS2 2 Inch Press X Press Copper Coupling

Product Description

The NIBCO PCH600DS2 is a 2-inch press-by-press copper coupling designed for joining seamless copper water tube in residential and commercial applications. It uses a press-fit connection method that eliminates the need for open flame, making it faster to install than traditional solder fittings. A built-in witness mark confirms proper crimp engagement once the fitting is pressed. This coupling is intended for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on potable water, gas distribution, and compressed air systems.

The PCH600DS2 is suited for a range of system types including residential water distribution, commercial plumbing, compressed air piping, and natural gas or propane systems where copper tube is specified. The press-fit design is compatible with standard pressing tools equipped with the appropriate jaw profile. The fitting can be installed in above-ground, in-wall, and underground installations, making it a versatile choice for new construction and retrofit work alike.

Key Features

• Press-by-press connection ends accept standard copper press tooling — no solder, flux, or open flame required

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system before cutting into existing lines. Ensure tube ends are clean, deburred, and fully seated into the fitting socket before pressing. Verify the witness mark is visible after crimping to confirm joint integrity.
