Viega ProPress 2915.1 copper reducer 1-1/4 x 2 in

ProPress Copper Reducer 2915.1

This straight reducing adapter joins 2 inch and 1-1/4 inch copper tube sizes in potable water systems. The FTG end on the larger side meets a press-fit connection on the smaller side for a secure crimp joint. An EPDM O-ring provides the seal at the press interface. The fitting is manufactured from copper and rated for 200 psi at 250 degrees F.

Build Quality and Daily Implications

Copper construction resists corrosion in potable water installations while the EPDM O-ring maintains elasticity across the rated temperature range. The press-fit design eliminates open flame work on site, reducing fire risk and speeding up assembly. A 3 13/16 inch overall length keeps the joint compact within tight pipe runs. No bolt holes or flanges mean simpler inspection and fewer leak paths.

Upgrade Context and Fit

This reducer replaces a traditional sweat coupling and separate reducer when a direct transition between the two tube sizes is needed. The jump is worth it on projects where press tooling is already deployed and soldering permits are difficult. It does not suit installations that require flanged connections or threaded adapters for equipment tie-ins. Buyers needing a different tube-size combination must select another model.
