Product Details
Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 concentric reducer 3x2-1/2 butt-weld female is designed for pipe connections using the preferred butt welding method, which requires that the fitting and pipe share the same wall thickness and diameter. Both the pipe and fitting are beveled to allow their ends to butt together, creating a groove for weld filler. The use of butt weld fittings offers advantages such as lower cost, reduced maintenance, and increased strength compared to threaded joints.
