KALDE Reducer 1 1/2'' - 1 1/4''

KALDE - Reducer

 A reducer is a fitting used in plumbing installations to join two pipes of different diameters. It is designed with one wide end and one narrow end, providing the transition where the pipe diameter changes.

Reducer Types:

1. Straight Reducer (Conical Reducer):
• Used on PVC, HDPE or steel pipes.
• Can be solvent-bonded, welded or flanged.
2. Threaded Reducer (Union Reducer):
• Made of brass, stainless steel or cast material.
• Easy installation thanks to the threaded connection.
3. Eccentric Reducer (Offset):
• Used in systems where liquid or gas media must be fully drained.
• Preferred in sewage and industrial lines.
4. Concentric Reducer (Centered):
• Designed so that the pipe centers are aligned.
• Minimizes pressure loss.

Areas of Use:

• Water and wastewater installations
• Natural gas and steam lines
• Industrial process plants
• Booster and pump systems

Advantages:

✔ Optimizes the flow of the medium.
✔ Balances pressure drop.
✔ Makes pipes of different diameters compatible.
✔ Leak-tight and durable.

Installation Recommendations:

• Adhesive (solvent) should be used for PVC reducers.
• For threaded reducers, leak-tightness should be ensured with PTFE tape or a gasket.
• Eccentric reducers must be installed in the correct orientation to prevent liquid accumulation.

If you need help with technical details or size selection, the suitable reducer type should be chosen according to pipe diameter and pressure rating.
