Sanitary Butt-Weld Concentric Reducer
The Sanitary Butt-Weld Concentric Reducer is a permanently welded pipe fitting used to connect two pipes of different diameters while maintaining uniform centerline. Both ends are prepared as butt-weld ends welded directly to pipeline forming seamless leak-free joints. This permanently installed fitting eliminates external connection components and is suitable for high-pressure high-temperature systems. Manufactured from 304 or 316L stainless steel with polished internal bore it provides excellent mechanical integrity.
