Stainless Steel Reducing Socket

A reducing socket is a specialized pipe fitting used to join two pipes of different diameters. Designed with a "socket" profile, one end allows for a smaller pipe insertion to reduce flow size while maintaining a secure, high-integrity welded or threaded connection.

Technical Specifications

Fitting Type Reducing Socket / Coupling
Size Range ¼" × ⅛" to 4" × 3"
Material Stainless Steel (ASTM A182 / A403)
Connection Socket Weld / Threaded

Available Material Grades

SS 304 / 1.4301 SS 304L / 1.4307 SS 316 / 1.4401 SS 316L / 1.4404

Common Applications

  • Pipe Size Reduction: Critical for transitioning between main lines and smaller branch piping.

  • Fluid & Gas Systems: Used in refineries and chemical plants to regulate flow pressure.

  • Industrial Process Lines: Maintains system integrity in high-pressure manufacturing environments.

  • HVAC & Plumbing: Provides durable transitions in large-scale climate control systems.

  • Marine Engineering: Superior resistance to saltwater and atmospheric corrosion.
