Nibco PRESREDFTGC11234 Copper Ftg X Press Reducer

Product Description

The NIBCO PRESREDFTGC11234 is a copper reducing fitting designed for press-style plumbing installations. It connects a 1-1/2 inch fitting-end (FTG) inlet to a 3/4 inch press outlet, allowing a transition between pipe sizes without soldering or open flame. This reducer is used in copper water distribution systems where a press tool is the preferred joining method. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit applications where flame-free connections are required or preferred.

This reducer is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems. The FTG end accepts standard copper pipe for a slip-fit into a socket, while the press end creates a permanent, leak-resistant joint using a compatible press tool and jaw set. It is commonly installed at branch takeoffs, fixture supply lines, and system transitions where pipe diameter changes are needed within a copper distribution system.

Key Features

• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic systems
• FTG x Press end configuration supports flame-free installation
• 1-1/2 inch inlet to 3/4 inch outlet reduces flow path at branch or transition points
• Compatible with standard press tooling used in commercial and residential plumbing
• No soldering required, reducing labor time and open-flame risk on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style copper press fitting for use in standard residential and commercial copper pipe systems where FTG and press-style connections are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with press-fit copper joining systems. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. A manufacturer-approved press tool with the correct jaw size for each end connection is required to complete the joint. Verify compliance with local plumbing codes and applicable IPC requirements before installing in potable water systems.
