Copper End Feed Straight Reducing Coupling, 22 mm x 16 mm Inner Diameter, Socket Weld This copper reducing coupling provides a straightforward way to transition a 22 mm copper pipe to a 16 mm copper pipe in a single, compact fitting. Designed with an end feed style and socket weld ends, it delivers a secure, leaktight connection when installed by qualified professionals. Key benefits Enables a smooth size reduction from 22 mm to 16 mm in a single fitting, simplifying layouts and reducing the number of joints. Copper construction offers corrosion resistance, durability, and reliable performance in plumbing and fluid systems. End feed design paired with socket weld ends provides a strong, welded connection suitable for permanent piping runs. Versatile for multiple fluids, including water, gas, and oil applications, when installed according to applicable standards and codes. Compact, straight configuration supports spaceconstrained installations and preserves flow path. Key attributes Material: Copper Fitting type: End Feed Straight Reducing Coupling Connection method: Socket Weld Size and fit: Inner diameter 22 mm to 16 mm (22 mm on one side, 16 mm on the other) Application scope: Water, gas, oil lines (subject to local codes and material compatibility) Compatibility: Designed for copper piping systems that require a straight reducer with socket weld ends Specifications and compatibility Internal flow path accommodates a 22 mm copper pipe on one side and a 16 mm copper pipe on the other End feed design facilitates straightforward insertion of pipe into the socket, followed by welding at the socket joint Suitable for use in appropriate water, gas, and oil piping installations, aligned with local regulations and material compatibility requirements Applications (use cases) Domestic water piping: Reducing a 22 mm supply line to 16 mm to feed smaller fixtures or branches, in a clean, straight run. Smallscale gas or oil piping: Connecting a 22 mm main line to a 16 mm branch line in compliant systems, with proper safeguarding and codes observed. Industrial equipment plumbing: Linking 22 mm supply lines to 16 mm lines in light industrial machinery or process systems where copper fittings and socket weld connections are approved. Installation notes Ensure compatibility with your piping standards and local codes before use. Prepare pipe ends by cutting square, deburring, and cleaning to remove any oxidation or debris for a clean weld joint. Use appropriate flux and welding procedures suitable for copper and socket weld connections. Verify the joint for leaks after installation and follow standard testing procedures as required by code. Care and maintenance Inspect joints periodically for signs of corrosion or leakage. Maintain clean, dry piping conditions and protect against environmental exposure that may affect copper integrity. any fitting showing corrosion or structural damage to maintain system reliability. This description reflects the product's stated design and intended applications, keeping alignment with the 22 mm x 16 mm inner diameter copper end feed straight reducing coupling with socket weld ends for water, gas, and oil piping scenarios.
