Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 concentric reducer measures 6x2-1/2 and features butt-weld female connections. Butt welding is preferred for joining pipe connections as it requires fittings to have the same wall thickness and diameter as the connecting pipe, both of which are beveled to ensure a proper fit. This design forms a groove for holding the weld filler, resulting in a stronger joint. Advantages of butt weld fittings include lower cost, reduced maintenance, and increased strength compared to threaded joints. The kit includes the necessary components for installation. The fitting complies with relevant certification standards.
