Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 concentric reducer measures 1-1/2 x 1/2 inches and features a butt-weld female connection. Butt welding is the preferred method for joining pipe connections, requiring the fitting to have the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipe it connects. Both the pipe and fitting ends are beveled to butt together, forming a groove to hold the weld filler. This type of fitting offers advantages such as lower cost, reduced maintenance, and greater strength compared to threaded joints. The product is constructed from 316 stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance and durability in various applications. The Schedule 40 wall thickness provides standardized strength and pressure ratings compatible with the piping system. This fitting complies with industry standards for butt-welded pipe connections and is suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure environments. Warranty terms apply as specified by the manufacturer.
