The QuickFitting 3/4 in. Press in. FTG in. Copper Reducing Coupling is built to streamline copper piping projects by delivering a fast, reliable transition from a pressed copper run to a standard threaded connection. With a purpose-built two-end design, it lets you connect copper pipe without soldering while lining up with common threaded components for valves, adapters, and fixtures. What sets this coupling apart
- Dual-end efficiency: One end is a 3/4 in. copper press connection, the other a female-threaded (FTG) end. This combination eliminates soldering in many installations and creates a clean, direct path between pressed copper and threaded fittings.
- Robust copper construction: Crafted from copper for durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance in water and plumbing service.
- Underground-ready: Rated for underground installations, making it suitable for direct burial or trench applications where a reliable transition is required.
- NSF listed: Meets NSF standards, giving you confidence in materials suitable for potable-water contact and compliant project requirements.
- Clear reducing capability: As a reducing coupling, it provides a practical transition from a pressed copper run to a threaded connection, simplifying layout changes or retrofits in tight spaces. Who it’s ideal for
- Plumbers and electrical/plumbing contractors who need a dependable, flame-free transition between pressed copper piping and threaded components.
- DIY homeowners tackling retrofit projects where soldering isn’t practical or desired.
- Underground service line installations, irrigation updates, or retrofits where a quick, durable copper-to-thread connection saves time. Use cases and practical applications
- Direct burial portions of copper water service lines that require a threaded connection downstream to valves or fixtures.
- Retrofit projects where a pressed copper line must connect to threaded adapters, tees, or valves without re-piping entire runs.
- Irrigation or landscape installations that need a compact, corrosion-resistant transition from copper pipe to threaded pipe fittings. Installation tips and best practices
- Prepare the copper run: Cut clean, square ends and deburr the 3/4 in. press side to ensure a solid press fit.
- Press the copper end correctly: Use the appropriate 3/4 in. press jaws and tool, following the tool manufacturer’s instructions to achieve a proper, leak-tight connection.
- Attach the FTG end securely: Pair the FTG side with a matching male-threaded adapter or component. Apply standard pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the mating male threads for a reliable seal.
- Inspect and test: After assembly, pressurize the system and inspect for leaks at both ends. If any seepage is detected, repress or re-torque as needed per applicable codes.
- Consider compatibility: This reducing coupling transitions a 3/4 in. press copper line to a standard threaded end. Plan fittings and adapters accordingly to ensure a proper match with your existing components. Why choose QuickFitting
- Practical, flame-free installation workflows reduce time on site and minimize hot-work risks.
