Copper Reducer for Drain Systems

The Nibco 6002 is a wrot-copper reducer designed for drain and trap installations. It connects a 2-inch fitting-end pipe to a 1/2-inch copper tube using an FTG x C joint. Rated for 364 psi at 100 degrees F, it suits residential and light-commercial plumbing.

ASME B16.22 Compliance Changes Fit

The fitting meets ASME/ANSI B16.22 dimensional standards, so the 2-1/8-inch by 5/8-inch outside diameters match listed copper tube sizes. This conformity removes guesswork when matching the reducer to existing pipe and helps the joint pass inspection without rework.

Sweat Joint Install — Clean Tube Ends

Installation is a standard sweat solder joint: clean both tube ends, apply flux, heat evenly, and feed solder until the cup fills. The most common failure is insufficient heat on the larger 2-inch side, leaving a cold joint that leaks under pressure.

Questions about this item

Will the wrot-copper fitting need replacement or maintenance after installation?

Wrot copper resists corrosion in closed hydronic systems, so the fitting itself rarely needs replacement; inspect joints only if a leak develops.

What is the first limit reached under continuous pressure at elevated temperature?

The 364 psi rating at 100 °F is the design ceiling; sustained pressure above that value will exceed the ASME B16.22 listing.

Does the copper reducer generate noise, heat or draw power during all-day operation?

As a passive fitting it produces no noise, adds no heat and consumes no power; fluid temperature simply follows the system water up to 400 °F.
