Product Details
The Merit 304 SS Schedule 40 concentric reducer measuring 1-1/4x1 is designed for butt-weld female connections. Butt welding is the preferred method to join pipe connections, requiring the fittings to have the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipes they connect. Both the pipe and the fitting ends are beveled to form a groove that holds the weld filler material. This reducer is made from 304 stainless steel and conforms to Schedule 40 dimensions, ensuring compatibility and durability. Benefits of using butt weld fittings include lower cost, reduced maintenance, and stronger joints compared to threaded connections. The package includes the concentric reducer ready for butt welding installation and adheres to industry standards for pipe fittings. The product dimensions correspond to the nominal pipe sizes 1-1/4 inches by 1 inch, with proper beveling for weld preparation. Warranty terms are provided by the manufacturer in accordance with their standard policy.
