The Model RC-2 Reducing Coupling makes it possible to
directly connect two different pipe sizes, eliminating the need
for two couplings and a reducing fitting. The specially designed
reducing coupling gasket with a center rib assures proper
positioning of the gasket and prevents the smaller pipe from
telescoping into the larger during assembly.
Working pressure ratings shown are for reference only and are
based on schedule 40 pipe. For the latest UL/ULC listed, LPCB,
VdS and FM Approved pressure ratings versus pipe schedule,
see www.anvilintl.com or contact your local Anvil Representative.
Model RC-2 Coupling complete with Grade “E” EPDM Gasket.
