The fitting connects a 2-inch press end to a 1.5-inch press end without soldering, using a press tool to create a permanent, leak-tight joint. Plumbers and pipefitters install this coupling during new construction or retrofit work where a pipe run transitions from a larger diameter to a smaller diameter. The press connection method eliminates open flame, making it suitable for installations near finished materials or in fire-sensitive environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reducing coupling is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications. It is used wherever a copper pipe run must step down from 2 inches to 1.5 inches, such as at branch takeoffs, manifold connections, or equipment tie-ins. The press-by-press configuration means both ends accept press-fit connections, keeping the installation consistent throughout the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress-fit ends on both sides eliminate the need for soldering or open flame during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces from 2-inch to 1.5-inch copper pipe in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress connection creates a permanent, reliable joint compatible with standard press tooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for use in tight spaces or finished areas where torch work is not practical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style press-fit reducing coupling for use with standard copper tubing in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a compatible press tool with the correct jaw size for each end diameter. Licensed plumbers should shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before installation. Verify that pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully inserted to the pipe stop before pressing. All work should comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for copper press fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press x Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Reducing Coupling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: PRESRED2112\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51523364487474,"sku":"RED2112","price":51.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8fd53e8f3d64addb3bf65a5bf3ef8b45.jpg?v=1785440832","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-presred2112-copper-press-reducing-coupling-2x1-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
