The 42mm × 28mm End Feed Reducing Coupler is an external reducer that joins 42mm copper tube to 28mm copper tube in a straight run with a soldered capillary joint. Socket both ends, it fits over the outside of the tube — steps 42mm commercial pipework down to 28mm. Manufactured from copper to BS EN 1254-1 and fits copper tube to BS EN 1057.

Also known as: external reducer, external coupler, external reducing coupler, reducing coupling, reducing socket, copper reducer, pipe size reducer, 42-28mm coupler, capillary reducing coupler, endfeed reducing coupler.
