Reducing coupling 1 3/8 x 5/8 ACR 9600 011005000

Reducing coupling for air conditioning and refrigeration installations

This reducing coupling, made from phosphorus-deoxidized copper (Cu-DHP), is designed to connect pipes of different diameters in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Its design enables precise joining of system components, ensuring leak-tightness and long-term durability. The coupling is intended for hard soldering using silver-based solders, guaranteeing a reliable and robust connection.

Construction and application

The reducing coupling connects a pipe with a diameter of 1 3/8 inches to a pipe with a diameter of 5/8 inch. Its simple design facilitates installation, while the copper material ensures corrosion resistance and extended service life. This component is essential during the construction or modernization of installations requiring adaptation between pipes of differing diameters.

• Made from phosphorus-deoxidized copper (Cu-DHP) – ensures high quality and durable joints.
• Designed for hard soldering – guarantees leak-tightness and pressure resistance.
• Simple design – simplifies installation and servicing.
• Compliant with ASME / ANSI B16.22 and PN–EN 12735 and PN–EN 1057 standards – confirms product safety and quality.
• Compatible with various refrigerants (HCFC, HFC, HFO, HC) – ensures broad application versatility.

Reducing couplings of this type are manufactured with thicker walls to further enhance resistance to high system pressures. Connector threads conform to ASME B1.20.1 (NPT pipe threads); however, note their incompatibility with metric threads per PN–EN 10226. Conex Banninger offers a 25-year warranty on joint leak-tightness when installed correctly.
