Rls 3051221800111 Copper Press Reducer Coupling

Product Description

The RLS 3051221800111 is a braze-free refrigerant copper press reducer coupling designed to connect copper piping of two different diameters without the use of a brazing torch. This one-piece fitting transitions from a 1-3/8 inch connection to a 1-1/8 inch connection, providing a leak-proof, mechanically secure joint. It is installed using a standard press tool, making the connection faster and more repeatable than traditional brazed joints. HVAC technicians and refrigeration professionals working on copper refrigerant piping systems are the primary users of this fitting.

This reducer coupling is suited for use in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration applications where copper refrigerant lines of differing sizes must be joined. It is particularly useful in retrofit, repair, and new installation scenarios where open-flame brazing is restricted, impractical, or prohibited. The press fitting design supports consistent, repeatable connections across high-volume service work, helping reduce overall installation time.

Key Features

• Braze-free press connection eliminates the need for a brazing torch
• Transitions from 1-3/8 inch to 1-1/8 inch copper refrigerant pipe
• One-piece construction for a secure, leak-proof joint
• Designed for repeatable installation results compared to brazed connections
• Compatible with standard refrigerant press tooling

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fitting replacement for copper refrigerant line connections requiring a 1-3/8 inch to 1-1/8 inch reducer in HVAC and refrigeration systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC or refrigeration technician using a calibrated press tool rated for refrigerant-grade copper fittings. Refrigerant must be recovered and the system must be depressurized before making or breaking any line connections. Verify that pipe ends are clean, deburred, and fully seated in the fitting before pressing. Follow all applicable local mechanical codes and manufacturer press tool guidelines.
