  • Withstands temperatures up to 400 Degrees F

Straight Reducing Coupling 2 in FTG x 1 in Cup

This copper sweat fitting joins a 2 in tube to a 1 in tube in a straight run. It suits air, gas and potable water systems. The wrot copper body handles 364 psi at 100 Degrees F and temperatures up to 400 Degrees F. Installers use it where a direct reduction is required.

Sweat connection ends

Side A is a 2 in FTG end with a 2 1/8 in outer diameter. Side B is a 1 in Cup end with a 1 1/8 in outer diameter. The plain copper surfaces accept standard solder alloys. No extra gaskets, ferrules or threading compounds are supplied in the box.

Simple solder installation

Clean both tube ends, apply flux and sweat the joint with a torch. The straight shape keeps alignment easy in tight spaces. Overheating can anneal the copper and weaken the joint. The fitting is not intended for press or push-fit methods. It does not suit systems that require threaded or flanged connections.

Questions about this item

Will the wrot copper body of the 6002 coupling need replacement due to corrosion or wear over time?

Wrot copper resists corrosion in potable water, air and gas systems, so the fitting body itself does not require scheduled replacement under normal conditions.

At 364 psi maximum operating pressure, what is the first limit reached during sustained high-pressure use?

The 364 psi rating at 100 °F is the pressure ceiling; exceeding it risks joint failure before any other limit is reached.

How much heat can the straight reducing coupling handle when the system runs continuously at elevated temperature?

The fitting is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 400 °F, so sustained heat up to that level is within design limits.
