Nibco PRESREDFTGC1141 Copper Ftg X Press Reducer

Product Description

The NIBCO PRESREDFTGC1141 is a copper reducing fitting designed for press-connect plumbing systems. It transitions from a 1-1/4 inch FTG (fitting-to-fitting) end to a 1 inch press connection, allowing plumbers to step down pipe size within a copper distribution system without soldering. This type of reducer is commonly used in commercial and residential plumbing rough-in work where a press tool is preferred over open-flame methods. Installation is fast and repeatable, making it a practical choice for tight spaces or fire-restricted job sites.

This reducer is suited for use in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution piping, and general copper plumbing systems where a size reduction is required. The FTG end accepts standard copper pipe, while the press end uses a press-connect tool and the appropriate press ring or jaw set to complete the joint. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction, renovation, or system modification work.

Key Features

• Copper construction for durability and corrosion resistance in plumbing systems
• FTG x Press end configuration allows integration into existing solder-based or press-based systems
• 1-1/4 inch to 1 inch size reduction supports flexible system design
• Press-connect end eliminates open-flame soldering for faster, safer installation
• Compatible with standard press tooling and press rings used in copper press systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for copper press plumbing systems requiring a 1-1/4 inch FTG to 1 inch press reducing connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before fitting installation. The press end requires a calibrated press tool with the correct jaw or ring set for the pipe diameter. Do not use the FTG end as a standard press connection — it is intended to socket over copper pipe or a fitting spigot end.
