Product Details
The Merit 304 SS Schedule 40 concentric reducer measures 3 inches by 1-1/4 inches and features a butt-weld female connection. Butt welding serves as the preferred method for joining pipe connections, as it requires fittings that maintain the same wall thickness and diameter as the pipes they connect. Both the pipe and the fitting are beveled to enable butt joining, creating a groove for weld filler. The advantages of using butt weld fittings include reduced costs, lower maintenance requirements, and increased strength compared to threaded joints.
