Straight copper reducer with smooth metallic finish

Nibco, Inc.

Nibco, Inc. 6002 2-1/2" x 1-1/4" FTG x C Copper Reducer

SKU CH-3A0G-V7QQJ

Connects 2-1/2" and 1-1/4" copper tubes with a sweat fitting rated to 269 psi at 200°F

  • Reduces 2-1/2" to 1-1/4" copper tube for system flexibility
  • FTG-by-cup sweat connection enables secure soldered joints
  • Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in potable water systems
  • Rated 269 psi at 200 °F for demanding pressure applications
  • Withstands temperatures up to 400 °F for hot-water and steam lines

Copper Reducing Coupling for Sweat Connections

This straight reducing coupling joins a 2-1/2 inch copper tube to a 1-1/4 inch copper tube using a sweat fitting on the larger end and a cup fitting on the smaller end. It is made from wrot copper and suits air, gases and potable water systems. Plumbers and maintenance engineers use it to step down pipe sizes in residential and commercial installations.

Maximum Operating Pressure 269 psi at 200 Degrees F

The fitting withstands 269 psi at 200 degrees Fahrenheit and handles temperatures up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. These limits define whether the reducer meets the design pressure and temperature of the intended plumbing or heating circuit. Systems that exceed either value require a different component.

Sweat and Cup Ends Ready for Brazing

Both ends are plain copper surfaces prepared for sweat brazing without additional adapters or mechanical joints. The FTG end slips over the 2-5/8 inch outer diameter tube while the cup end accepts the 1-3/8 inch outer diameter tube. No gaskets, threads or solder rings are included in the package.

Questions about this item

What does the 269 psi rating mean once this reducer is sweated into a copper line?

The joint is rated to hold 269 psi at 200 °F, so it will handle typical residential and light-commercial water or air pressure at elevated temperature without leaking.

How does the FTG-by-C connection standard limit what pipe or fittings can be joined?

Side A is a 2-1/2 in. fitting-end that slips inside a 2-1/2 in. copper fitting, while Side B is a 1-1/4 in. cup that sweats onto 1-1/4 in. copper tube; you cannot connect it directly to pipe on the large end or to a fitting on the small end.

What tube diameters and clearance does this straight reducing coupling need to fit and mount?

The large end accepts 2-5/8 in. OD tube inside a fitting socket, the small end sweats onto 1-3/8 in. OD tube, and the straight body requires enough straight run to insert both ends fully for a proper sweat joint.
