Copper Reducing Bushing for Sweat Fittings

This NIBCO 9012 fitting joins a 2 inch copper tube to a 1-1/2 inch fitting using sweat connections. It is designed for air and potable water lines in residential or commercial plumbing systems. The wrot copper body meets ASME B16.29 and ASTM B75 standards.

Wrot Copper Construction with Cup and FTG Ends

The cup end slides over 2-1/8 inch outer diameter tubing while the FTG end inserts into a 1-5/8 inch fitting socket for soldering. Rated for 5 psi maximum operating pressure and 400 degrees Fahrenheit maximum temperature. ISO 9001 manufacturing ensures consistent dimensions for reliable joints.

Replaces Mismatched Copper Pipe Sizes

Use this bushing when transitioning between 2 inch and 1-1/2 inch copper pipe without threading or mechanical couplings. Not suitable for higher pressure hydronic or compressed air systems exceeding the 5 psi rating. Buyers needing flared, compression or press-fit connections should select a different fitting type.

Questions about this item

What pressure does the ASME B16.29 rating allow on this 9012 reducing bushing?

The ASME B16.29 standard covers wrought copper fittings; this bushing is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 5 psi.

What copper tube sizes must the installer have on hand for the cup and FTG ends?

Side A takes 2 in copper tube (2 1/8 in OD) and Side B takes 1 1/2 in copper tube (1 5/8 in OD).

How is the joint made, and which step do DIYers most often skip?

Clean both tubes, apply flux, insert fully into the cup and FTG ends, then sweat-solder the joint; the step most often skipped is thorough cleaning and fluxing before heating.
