Nibco, Inc. C6002 3/4x1/2 copper reducer trap

SKU CH-P0FW-3Z79C MPN C6002

Copper reducer fitting connects 3/4 in to 1/2 in tube, rated 582 psi at 100 °F and -20 to 400 °F per ASME/ANSI B 16.22

  • TypeDrain Components
  • Copper construction resists corrosion for long service life
  • Reduces 3/4 in to 1/2 in tube for flexible piping
  • Rated 582 psi at 100 °F for high-pressure systems
  • Operates from -20 °F to 400 °F across wide temperature range
  • Meets ASME/ANSI B16.22 standard for code compliance

Copper Reducer Trap 3/4 x 1/2

The Nibco C6002 is a wrot copper reducer fitting designed to transition a 3/4 inch nominal tube down to a 1/2 inch copper tube in plumbing systems. It uses a fitting-to-copper (FTG x C) connection style suitable for soldered joints in residential and commercial installations.

Thermal Pressure Rating 582 psi

The fitting withstands a maximum pressure of 582 psi at 100 degrees Fahrenheit and operates across a temperature range of -20 to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. These limits cover typical hot and cold water distribution as well as heating applications without exceeding the material capacity.

Sustained Load ASME B16.22

Under continuous pressure and thermal cycling, the copper construction maintains integrity within the ASME/ANSI B16.22 standard for wrought copper solder-joint fittings. The joint remains leak-free at the rated pressure and temperature extremes over extended service periods.

Questions about this item

How is the 3/4" x 1/2" wrot copper reducer installed, and what step do installers often miss?

Clean both tube ends and the fitting sockets, apply flux, insert the 7/8" OD end over the 3/4" tube and the 5/8" OD end into the 1/2" tube, then solder the FTG x C joints; the step often missed is fully heating each joint until the solder flows completely around the socket.

What maintenance or replacement will this copper reducer need over its service life?

The wrot copper body requires no scheduled maintenance; inspect joints periodically for green corrosion or leaks, and replace the fitting only if a joint fails or the tube shows pitting from aggressive water chemistry.

What is the first limit reached under sustained high-temperature use?

The temperature rating of 400 Degrees F is the first limit; sustained operation above this temperature can degrade the copper and solder joints even though the pressure rating of 582 psi at 100 Degrees F remains higher.
