Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SCI Press Copper FTG x Press Reducing Adapter Coupling used for?
It provides a compact reducing transition between a copper fitting-end connection and a copper press connection.
What figure identifies this reducing adapter coupling?
ASC Engineered Solutions identifies the Copper FTG x Press Reducing Adapter Coupling as Fig. SP609R.
What connections does the SP609R use?
The SP609R combines a copper fitting end with a mechanical copper press connection.
What does FTG mean on this adapter?
FTG identifies the fitting end designed to connect into a compatible fitting connection rather than directly over copper tubing.
Is the SP609R a reducing fitting?
Yes. It is designed to transition between different connection sizes.
What copper tubing is compatible with SCI Press fittings?
SCI Press Copper Fittings are intended for ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M hard copper tubing and compatible soft copper tubing within the manufacturer's specified range.
Does the press connection require soldering or brazing?
No. The press connection uses mechanical press technology without conventional soldering or brazing.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both connection sizes, FTG orientation, reducing requirements, and compatible pressing equipment.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both connection sizes.
