NIBCO 6002 Copper Reducer

The NIBCO 6002 is a straight reducing coupling made from wrot copper. It connects a 1-1/2 inch nominal tube on the FTG side to a 3/4 inch nominal tube on the copper side. Plumbers and HVAC technicians use it to join dissimilar copper tube sizes in potable water, air and gas lines.

Installation and common issues

The fitting installs by sweat soldering the FTG end into a female socket and the cup end over a copper tube. Clean both surfaces thoroughly and apply flux before heating to avoid voids or leaks. Overheating can anneal the copper and weaken the joint, while insufficient heat leaves unmelted solder.

Pressure and temperature rating

The reducer withstands a maximum operating pressure of 577 psi at 200 degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 400 degrees F. Verify that your system design stays within these limits before specifying this part.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the reducer is handling the rated 577 psi at 200 Degrees F after installation?

Pressure-test the joint at the system's working pressure and inspect for leaks; the fitting is rated for 577 psi at 200 Degrees F and up to 400 Degrees F maximum temperature.

What comes with the NIBCO 6002 reducer and what must I supply myself?

The box contains the wrot copper straight reducing coupling only; you must provide copper tubing, flux, solder and a torch for the sweat connections.

Which NIBCO 6002 size matches a 1-1/2" FTG to 3/4" copper tube step-down?

Choose the 6002 model with 1-1/2" FTG on side A and 3/4" copper on side B; it reduces from 1 5/8" OD to 7/8" OD tube.
