2 inch x 1-1/2 inch Copper Press Reducing Coupling Copper x Copper

2" x 1-1/2" Copper Press Reducing Coupling – Precision Fit for Piping Transitions

This press-style reducing coupling is intended for use in copper tube systems where a reduction in line diameter is needed. Its 2" x 1-1/2" configuration allows for efficient flow transitions, maintaining mechanical integrity and system compliance in pressure-rated environments.

Manufactured from lead-free wrought copper and equipped with factory-installed EPDM sealing elements, this fitting supports reliable mechanical joints for potable water, closed-loop hydronic heating, and low-pressure steam. It is compatible with standard press tools and V-profile jaws, offering a flame-free installation solution in both new construction and retrofit work.

Performance Features

• ✅ Lead-Free Copper Body Meets requirements under NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 for potable water applications.
• ✅ Integrated Elastomer Seal EPDM sealing ring offers a secure, watertight joint under rated pressure loads.
• ✅ Mechanical Joint Design Accepts V-profile press connections using calibrated tooling.
• ✅ System Pressure Rating Suitable for service up to 200 PSI per application and installation standards.
• ✅ Installation Efficiency Eliminates open flame and solder, reducing labor time and fire risk on site.

Press System Guidelines

Prior to pressing, verify that tube ends are properly deburred and free of residue. Use calibrated, manufacturer-approved pressing tools and jaws. The integrity of the sealing element must be maintained throughout assembly. Reference local mechanical codes and manufacturer data sheets for validation of use in potable or heating systems.
