The 3/4" x 1/2" CP Reducer is a copper plumbing fitting that joins two pipes of different sizes. It has a 3/4" female threaded end on one side and a 1/2" male threaded end on the other, allowing a secure connection from a larger pipe to a smaller one in water supply or plumbing lines.

Question 5

How do I install the 3/4" x 1/2" CP Reducer? – Step-by-step.

Accepted Answer

1) Ensure the system is depressurized and drained. 2) Clean the mating threads on both pipes. 3) Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for copper/plumbing on the male threads. 4) Hand-tighten the reducer onto the 3/4" side, then snug with a wrench without overtightening. 5) Tighten the 1/2" male side similarly. 6) Pressurize the system and check for leaks, tightening slightly if needed.

Question 6

What tools or accessories do I need for installation?

You’ll typically need a wrench or adjustable pliers, PTFE thread seal tape or pipe thread sealant rated for copper, and a clean rag to wipe away excess sealant. Have a flashlight handy to inspect the joints after testing.

Question 7

How do I prevent leaks after installation?

Use an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on the threaded connections, ensure threads are clean, and tighten to a snug fit without overtightening. After tighening, pressurize the system slowly and inspect both ends for any signs of leaks.
