“A concentric reducing socket pipe is a type of pipe fitting used in plumbing and industrial applications to connect two pipes of different sizes in a concentric manner. It is designed to allow for a smooth and gradual transition of pipe diameter, ensuring an uninterrupted flow of fluids or gases.
The term “”concentric”” in this context refers to the fact that the centerlines of the two pipe sections are aligned, meaning they share the same axis. This results in a smooth and continuous flow path, minimizing pressure loss and turbulence.
A “”reducing socket”” means that one end of the fitting has a larger diameter, while the other end has a smaller diameter. The larger end fits over a pipe with a larger diameter, while the smaller end accepts a pipe with a smaller diameter. This way, the fitting reduces the pipe size from one end to the other.
Concentric reducing socket pipes come in various materials such as PVC, CPVC, stainless steel, carbon steel, and others, depending on the specific application requirements.
These fittings are widely used in various systems, including plumbing, irrigation, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), and industrial processes to ensure efficient and smooth flow of fluids while accommodating changes in pipe sizes.”
