Pegler XPress Press-Fit Copper Reducer 15mm to 108mm

Pegler XPress Press-Fit Copper Reducer

This is a reducer for water and heating copper, for stepping down between sizes. It is listed from 22 x 15mm up to 108 x 88.9mm; the full set of sizes is in the Specification.

The large end is a male spigot that slots into another fitting’s socket, whereas a reducing coupling takes copper tube at both ends. Mark the depth on the male end and check the line sits at the socket mouth before pressing. Reductions from 108mm are listed, so it suits plant room headers as well.

Common Questions

Reducer or reducing coupling, which do I want?

This reducer has a large male end that slots into another fitting’s socket. A reducing coupling takes copper tube at both ends instead.

Can it step down from big commercial sizes?

Yes, the list runs from 22 x 15mm right up to 108mm reductions, so it suits plant room headers too.

Do I mark depth on the male end?

Yes, mark it before fitting and check the line sits at the socket mouth before pressing.
