Copper Reducing Coupling 2-1/2" x 2
This copper reducing coupling connects a 2-1/2 inch pipe to a 2 inch pipe using sweat connections on both ends. It is intended for plumbers and DIY installers working on residential or light commercial water supply lines.
Sweat joint installation limits
The fitting requires soldering with a torch, flux and lead-free solder rated for potable water. Joint strength depends on proper pipe cleaning, flux application and temperature control. It cannot be used with press, push-fit or threaded adapters unless those components are specifically listed for copper sweat transitions.
Verify pipe sizing and local code
Confirm the existing copper tubing matches the 2-5/8 inch and 2-1/8 inch outside diameters before ordering. Check local plumbing codes for permitted fitting types, lead-free requirements and inspection rules. This product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
Which size Legend Valve reducing coupling matches my 2-1/2" and 2" copper pipes?
The 450-552 model is built for 2-1/2" x 2" ID copper tube, with 2-5/8" x 2-1/8" OD dimensions for a sweat C x C joint.
What does the C x C designation mean when I solder this fitting?
C x C indicates both ends are female copper sockets, so you sweat the coupling directly onto the outside of each pipe without threads or adapters.
How does the Proposition 65 warning affect installation of this copper fitting?
The warning covers chemicals in the copper alloy; standard plumbing practice — flux, lead-free solder, ventilation and hand washing after handling — satisfies safe-installation requirements.
