Reducer coupling 1 1/8" x 1/2" ACR 9600 009004000

Reducing coupling for copper installations

This reducing coupling, made of copper, is used to connect pipes of different diameters in air conditioning and refrigeration installations. It allows for a precise connection of a 1 1/8 inch diameter pipe to a 1/2 inch diameter pipe, ensuring a tight and durable connection. It is an essential element during the construction or modification of refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Construction and application

The coupling has simple connections for soldering, which ensures easy assembly and disassembly. Made of copper, it is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. The use of connectors made of copper pipes with thicker walls guarantees tightness even at high pressures in the system. It is compatible with various refrigerants – HCFC, HFC, HFO and HC – making it a universal solution for many installations. However, it should not be used in systems with ammonia (R717).
