Copper Reducer Dimensions

The Nibco 6002 is a wrot copper reducer fitting designed to join a 3 inch tube to a 2-1/2 inch tube. It uses an FTG by C connection type and meets ASME/ANSI B16.22 standards for plumbing installations.

Installers and System Constraints

This fitting suits plumbers who need a straight reduction between the two listed tube sizes in copper piping systems. It is not for installers who require a different diameter combination, a press or push-fit connection style, or a fitting rated above 317 psi at 100 degrees F.

Pressure and Temperature Rating

The reducer withstands a maximum pressure of 317 psi at 100 degrees F and operates across a temperature range of -20 degrees to 400 degrees F. This rating determines whether the part matches the design limits of the intended water or heating system.

Questions about this item

How do I solder the 3-1/8 in outside diameter end into a 3 in copper tube without overheating the wrot copper?

Clean both surfaces, apply flux, insert the 3-1/8 in fitting end fully into the 3 in tube, heat the joint evenly until solder flows, then wipe excess; avoid prolonged heat above 400 Degrees F to protect the material.

Will the wrot copper reducer need replacement due to corrosion or scaling in a hot water system?

Wrot copper resists corrosion in potable water; inspect joints annually for green patina or leaks, and replace only if pitting or seepage appears at the FTG x C connection.

At what pressure will the reducer reach its 317 psi limit during continuous 100 Degrees F operation?

The 317 psi rating applies at 100 Degrees F; sustained pressure above this value risks joint failure, so install a relief valve set below 317 psi for safety.
