Endfeed Fitting Reducer

What is the difference between a reducing coupling and a fitting reducer?How fitting reducers and reducing couplings are different.

Good Question! The difference is actually quite straight forward. A reducing coupling is designed to accept pipes into either end. For example a 15mm to 10mm reducing coupling accepts a 15mm pipe into one end and 10mm pipe into the other. 

A 15mm to 10mm fitting reducer accepts a 10mm pipe into one end and the other end goes inside a 15mm fitting such as an elbow or coupling or tee. It is always the larger end that will fit into the fitting and the smaller end will always accept the pipe. 

Perfect for the use of solder and brazing, Endfeed fittings are perfect for multiple applications including gas, heating and chilled water systems. They are designed for connecting copper tubes in accordance with EN 1057 and come available in sizes 8-54mm.

  • WRAS Approved. 
  • Marked for full traceability. 
  • Manufactured from high quality copper material in accordance with EN1254-2.
  • Compliant with relevant British standards EN1254 / BS864.
