Sanitary Reducers
Concentric and eccentric reducers that change line size without creating a pocket the line cannot drain.

What Goes Wrong Without the Right Reducer
- Concentric reducers on a horizontal line that trap liquid at the step
- Size changes made with an adapter stack instead of a single fitting
- Pump suction reducers that let air collect and cause cavitation
Who Specifies This Category
- Engineers connecting a pump suction to a larger supply line
- Fabricators matching equipment ports to the plant line size
- Plants standardising on one tube size through a rebuild
What You Get From Our Range
- Concentric and eccentric bodies so horizontal lines stay self-draining
- Clamped, butt-weld, threaded and male threaded end options
- Single piece reduction instead of stacked adapters, fewer joints to clean
- Made to AS, BS, DIN, 3-A and SMS reducing dimensions
Where They Are Installed
- Pump suction where the flat side must sit on top to clear air
- Stepping a 3 inch header down to a 2 inch filler feed
- Adapting a vessel outlet to the plant standard tube size
- Matching a filter housing port to the line

Reducers FAQ
What engineers ask before they specify this category.
Concentric or eccentric reducer
On a horizontal line use eccentric so the invert stays flat and the line drains. On a vertical line concentric is fine. On pump suction use eccentric with the flat side uppermost so air does not collect at the step.
Can you make a reducer between two different standards
Yes, that is a common request, for example DIN on one end and tri-clamp on the other. Confirm the tube outside diameter and wall thickness at each end and we will quote it as a custom item.
What wall thickness do you supply
Wall thickness follows the standard you order to. Tell us the standard and size and we will confirm the exact figure on the quotation.

Send the line size, media, working pressure, temperature and the standard you work to, and we will confirm dimensions, material and finish in writing.
