Product Details
The Merit 316 SS Schedule 40 concentric reducer measures 1-1/2 inches by 1-1/4 inches and features a butt-weld design, which is the most preferred method for joining pipe connections due to its structural integrity. Butt weld fittings must maintain the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipes they connect, ensuring a secure and consistent connection. Both the pipe and the fitting are beveled to allow the ends to properly align and form a groove that holds the weld filler. The advantages of utilizing butt weld fittings include lower cost, reduced maintenance, and enhanced strength compared to threaded joints.
