Copper Reducer 1 in x 1/2 in

The Viega ProPress 2915.2 is a straight reducing connector made from copper for press-fit plumbing installations. It joins a 1 in copper tube on one side to a 1/2 in copper tube on the other using press-fit connections on both ends. An EPDM O-ring provides the seal at each joint. The fitting carries a maximum operating pressure of 200 psi and a maximum operating temperature of 250 Degrees F.

Installers needing a direct size transition

This reducer suits plumbers who need a single press-fit step down from 1 in to 1/2 in copper tubing in potable water systems. It is not for installers who require a threaded connection, a different tube size combination, or a fitting material other than copper. Buyers needing a flange, bolt holes, or a non-straight shape should look at other fitting types.

EPDM O-ring seal

The EPDM O-ring material is factory-fitted and creates the watertight seal when the fitting is pressed onto the tube. It eliminates the need for solder, flux, or thread sealant during installation. The O-ring is designed to perform within the stated pressure and temperature limits of 200 psi and 250 Degrees F. No separate gaskets or sealing compounds are supplied or required.

Questions about this item

Do I need a ProPress crimp tool and matching 1 in and 1/2 in jaw sets to install this reducer?

Yes, the fitting uses press-fit connections on both ends and requires a compatible ProPress tool with the correct jaw sizes for 1 in and 1/2 in copper tube to form a permanent seal.

Can I press this reducer onto existing copper pipe that was previously soldered?

Yes, as long as the pipe ends are clean, round, and free of solder residue within the insertion depth, the EPDM O-rings will seal against the copper surface.

How can I verify the joint is holding at the rated 200 psi after pressing?

Perform a standard hydrostatic pressure test on the assembled line; a leak-free hold at the system test pressure confirms the press connections are sound.
