The copper press reducing coupling joins two different sizes of copper tube with a press socket on each end. Use it to step a line down from main to branch size, or to tie new press work into existing pipework of a different size.
Sizes are listed large x small. The range runs from 18mm x 15mm and 20mm x 18mm transition sizes through to 100mm x 80mm. To step down straight off another fitting without a piece of tube, use the male x female reducer.
