REDUCER

A reducer is a pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of different diameters, ensuring a smooth transition in flow between them. It is commonly used in plumbing, industrial piping, HVAC, and irrigation systems.

Key Features:

Material: Available in PVC, CPVC, UPVC, stainless steel, galvanized steel, brass, and cast iron.

Types:

1. Concentric Reducer:

Symmetrical shape, with the centerline of both ends aligned.

Used in vertical pipelines to maintain uniform flow.

2. Eccentric Reducer:

Asymmetrical shape, with one side flat and the other sloped.

Prevents air pockets in pipelines and is commonly used in horizontal applications.

Usage:

Plumbing & Water Supply: Connects pipes of different sizes in water distribution systems.

Drainage & Sewage: Used in wastewater systems to transition between pipe sizes.

Industrial & HVAC Systems: Helps regulate pressure and flow in fluid transport 

Installation:

Connected using solvent cement (for PVC/CPVC), threading, welding, or flanges, depending on the material.
