Reducing copper adapter for 1/2" tube to 3/4" MNPT

This wrot-copper reducing adapter joins a 1/2 in copper tube to a 3/4 in male NPT thread using a sweat connection on the tube side. It is rated for air, gases and potable water systems. The fitting handles up to 722 psi at 100 Degrees F and temperatures up to 400 Degrees F.

Installers needing a direct sweat-to-thread

Suits plumbers and HVAC technicians who must reduce from 1/2 in copper tube to a 3/4 in male pipe thread in a single fitting. Not for jobs that require a female-threaded outlet, a straight coupling without reduction, or a press-connect or push-fit joint method.

Maximum operating pressure 722 psi at 100 Degrees F

This pressure rating at the stated temperature is the key figure for deciding whether the adapter meets the design limits of the piping system. Verify that the system pressure and temperature stay within this bound before specifying the part.

Questions about this item

What pressure does the 722 psi rating cap in practice?

The adapter is rated for 722 psi at 100 °F, so the pressure cap applies at that temperature; higher temperatures lower the allowable pressure.

What copper tube and pipe sizes must the mating pipes match?

Side A requires a 1/2 in copper tube (5/8 in OD) for a sweat joint; Side B requires a 3/4 in male NPT thread.

How is the sweat end installed, and what step is often missed?

Clean the tube and fitting, apply flux, slide the cup onto the tube, then heat evenly and feed solder until the joint is full; skipping thorough cleaning or flux causes leaks.
