Description
SCI® Press - Copper MPT Male Street Reducer
SCI® Press - Copper MPT Male Street Reducer provides a reducing transition between a copper male street connection and a male threaded connection, allowing a compatible copper fitting connection to transition directly to a different-size female threaded component.
Identified by SCI as Fig. SP602R, this fitting uses an MS x MT Reducing Adapter Coupling configuration. The male street end is designed to insert into a compatible copper fitting connection, while the opposite end provides the male threaded connection.

Construction Details
The SCI® Press Copper MPT Male Street Reducer is a straight reducing adapter that combines a copper male street end with a male threaded connection. SCI identifies the SP602R configuration as MS x MT RED ADPT CPLG.
The male street end differs from a standard female press socket. It is designed to insert into a compatible copper fitting connection rather than accepting a length of copper tubing directly.
The opposite end provides the male threaded connection for joining to a compatible female threaded fitting, valve, equipment connection, or other component.
Because the SP602R incorporates different inlet sizes, the fitting also provides the required size transition within the adapter itself.
Male Street x Male Threaded Reducing Configuration
Copper Male Street End
The SP602R incorporates a copper male street connection intended to insert into a compatible copper fitting connection. This street-style end differs from the female press socket used on standard press adapters.
Male Threaded Connection
The opposite end provides the male threaded connection for joining the adapter to a compatible female threaded valve, fitting, equipment connection, or other component.
Integrated Size Transition
The SP602R combines the street connection, threaded transition, and size change within a single straight fitting.
This configuration is useful where the connection entering the adapter and the required threaded outlet are different sizes. The integrated reduction can eliminate the need to assemble a separate street adapter and additional reducing fitting.
SCI publishes the SP602R in multiple Inlet 1 and Inlet 2 combinations, so both connection sizes should be confirmed before ordering.
SP602R vs. SP602 Street Adapter
SP602R Street Reducer
The SP602R uses an MS x MT reducing configuration with different connection-size combinations. Select this fitting when the street connection and male threaded connection require a size transition.
SP602 Street Adapter
The SP602 uses the standard MS x MT adapter coupling configuration. Select the SP602R when the installation requires the reducing transition to be incorporated directly into the adapter.
Connection Function
Street Connection
Provides a copper male street end for insertion into a compatible copper fitting connection.
Size Transition
Provides different inlet-size combinations so the connection size can change through the adapter.
Threaded Transition
Provides an integral male threaded connection for joining to a compatible female threaded component.
SCI® Press Copper System
The SP602R is part of the SCI® Press Copper fitting family, which includes couplings, elbows, tees, adapters, reducers, caps, unions, and flanges for mechanical copper piping systems.
SCI Press Copper Fittings are intended for use with ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M hard copper tubing and applicable soft copper tubing within the SCI Press Copper system.
Standard SCI Press connections provide mechanical joining without conventional soldering or brazing and are compatible with common pressing tools and jaws. When the SP602R male street end is installed into a compatible SCI Press fitting, follow the installation requirements for that mating press connection.
EPDM Sealing System
Applicable SCI Press Copper connections use peroxide-cured Grade “E” EPDM sealing elements. SCI lists an operating temperature range of -20°F to 248°F for the EPDM sealing material.
The EPDM seal is recommended by SCI for water service, diluted acids, alkaline solutions, oil-free air, and many other compatible chemical services.
Fluids containing hydrocarbon-based oils are not compatible with the EPDM seal. SCI Press Copper EPDM connections are not for use in petroleum applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SCI figure number for the Copper MPT Male Street Reducer?
SCI identifies the Copper MPT Male Street Reducer as Fig. SP602R.
What connection configuration does the SP602R use?
SCI identifies the SP602R as MS x MT RED ADPT CPLG, combining a copper male street connection with a male threaded connection in a reducing adapter configuration.
What makes the SP602R a reducing adapter?
The SP602R is offered with different Inlet 1 and Inlet 2 size combinations, allowing the fitting to provide the size transition between the male street and male threaded connections.
Is the street end a standard press socket?
No. The SP602R uses a copper male street end rather than a standard female press socket. The street end is intended to insert into a compatible copper fitting connection.
How is the SP602R different from the SP602?
The SP602R is the reducing version of the MPT Male Street Adapter. The SP602 uses the standard MS x MT adapter configuration, while the SP602R provides different connection-size combinations.
What does the male threaded end connect to?
The male threaded end is intended to mate with a compatible female threaded fitting, valve, equipment connection, or other component.
Does the SP602R itself use a standard press socket?
No. SCI identifies the SP602R as an MS x MT reducing adapter. When its male street end is installed into a compatible SCI Press fitting, the press sealing system is provided by that mating fitting connection.
What copper tubing does the SCI Press Copper system support?
SCI specifies ASTM B88 Types K, L, and M hard copper tubing and applicable soft copper tubing for the overall SCI Press Copper system.
Can SCI Press Copper EPDM connections be used for petroleum applications?
No. SCI states that fluids containing hydrocarbon-based oils are not compatible with the EPDM seal and that the EPDM press system is not for use in petroleum applications.
What certifications are identified for the SCI Press Copper system?
SCI identifies IAPMO UPC PS-117, NSF/ANSI 61, and NSF/ANSI 372 approvals and certifications for the system.
