Connects 2" copper tubing to 1-1/2" MNPT threads for air, gas or potable water systems, rated to 364 psi at 100°F and 400°F maximum temperature
- Reduces 2" copper tube to 1-1/2" MNPT for versatile transitions
- Wrot copper construction resists corrosion in potable water systems
- Handles 364 psi at 100°F for reliable pressure performance
- Withstands 400°F maximum temperature for demanding applications
- Sweat connection on copper side ensures leak-free solder joints
Application & Purpose
This NIBCO reducing adapter connects a 2" copper tube to a 1-1/2" male NPT thread for air, gases, or potable water systems. It suits plumbers and installers who need a sweat-to-thread transition in a single fitting.
Build & Connections
The wrot copper body uses a cup sweat end on one side and a male pipe thread on the other for a permanent solder joint and a removable threaded connection. Rated for 364 psi at 100°F and 400°F maximum temperature, it handles typical residential and light commercial pressure and heat.
Critical Specification
The reducing design steps down from a 2" nominal copper size to a 1-1/2" MNPT thread, so it only fits that exact combination. Buyers needing a straight coupling, a female thread, or a different diameter step-down must choose another part.

Questions about this item
What pressure does the 604-R adapter handle at 100 °F?
The adapter is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 364 psi at 100 °F.
What tube and thread sizes does the 604-R connect?
Side A accepts a 2 1/8 in copper tube outer diameter; Side B provides a 1-1/2 in MNPT thread.
How do you install the 604-R and what step is often missed?
Clean the 2 1/8 in tube end, apply flux, insert fully into the cup, then sweat with lead-free solder; the step often missed is heating the fitting evenly so solder flows completely around the joint before cooling.
