Sanitary Butt-Weld Eccentric Reducer
The Sanitary Butt-Weld Eccentric Reducer is a permanently welded pipe fitting that connects pipes of different diameters while maintaining flat top or bottom alignment. Both ends are prepared for butt-welding directly to pipeline eliminating need for external clamps and gaskets. The eccentric design prevents gas pocket formation when installed with flat side on top and ensures complete drainage with flat side at bottom. Manufactured from 304 or 316L stainless steel with polished internal surface it is used in permanent pipeline installations across food pharmaceutical dairy and chemical processing industries.
