Rwc U050LF Reducing Coupling Push-fit Brass

Product Description

The RWC U050LF is a push-fit reducing coupling designed to connect pipes of two different diameters without soldering, threading, or special tooling. Built from lead-free brass, it accepts a 1/4 inch nominal pipe on one end and a 1/2 inch nominal pipe on the other, making it a practical solution when transitioning between pipe sizes within a water supply or hydronic system. The push-fit end style allows for fast, tool-free connections that seat securely with a simple push. Licensed plumbers and experienced service techs install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This reducing coupling is suited for use in potable water supply lines, in-wall and above-slab plumbing rough-ins, and repair work where mismatched pipe sizes need to be joined quickly. The push-fit design is compatible with copper, CPVC, and PEX pipe types, making it versatile across common installation scenarios. It is a practical choice when rerouting or extending existing lines during a service call or renovation.

Key Features

• Push-fit end style requires no soldering, threading, or crimping tools
• Lead-free brass construction meets LF (low-lead) requirements for potable water use
• Reduces from 1/2 inch nominal to 1/4 inch nominal in a single fitting
• Compact body suits tight spaces in walls, chases, and mechanical rooms

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style push-fit reducing coupling for residential and light commercial plumbing systems using copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before making any connections. Ensure pipe ends are cut cleanly and deburred before inserting into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings appropriate for push-fit brass fittings in your jurisdiction.
