Nibco PRESREDFTGC212 Copper Ftg X Press Reducer

Product Description

The NIBCO PRESREDFTGC212 is a copper reducing fitting designed for press-style plumbing installations. It connects a 2-inch FTG (fitting) end to a 1/2-inch press end, allowing a technician to step down pipe diameter within a copper distribution system without soldering. This type of reducer is used where a transition from a larger main line to a smaller branch line is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. The press connection eliminates open flame on the job site, making it well suited for occupied spaces or areas with flammable materials nearby.

This reducer fits into residential and light commercial copper piping systems where press-fit technology is specified. It is appropriate for potable water supply, hydronic heating distribution, and general plumbing applications that call for a copper FTG-to-press reducing connection. The 2-inch by 1/2-inch size reduction addresses common main-to-branch transitions found in multi-fixture residential plumbing and small commercial installations.

Key Features

• Copper construction for corrosion resistance in water supply and hydronic systems
• 2 inches x 1/2 inches reducing configuration for main-to-branch transitions
• FTG (fitting) inlet end seats directly inside a standard copper fitting socket
• Press outlet end eliminates soldering, reducing installation time and open-flame risk
• Compatible with standard press-tool systems used in copper press-fit plumbing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-fit reducer for copper plumbing systems requiring a 2-inch FTG inlet and a 1/2-inch press outlet connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before fitting installation. Use a calibrated press tool approved for copper press fittings and verify the correct jaw size for both the 2-inch and 1/2-inch ends. Inspect the pipe ends for burrs or debris and ensure the pipe is fully seated in the fitting before pressing.
