An eccentric reducing socket is a type of pipe fitting used in plumbing and piping systems. It is designed to connect two pipes of different diameters while maintaining a straight flow path. The term “”eccentric”” refers to the fact that the centerline of the two connected pipes is not aligned, resulting in an offset or eccentricity.
The purpose of using an eccentric reducing socket is to change the pipe diameter while also ensuring that the fluid or gas inside the pipes flows smoothly. Unlike concentric reducers, which have aligned centerlines, eccentric reducers are ideal for situations where there might be a need to avoid trapping air or gases in the pipeline.
Eccentric reducing sockets come in various materials, such as PVC, CPVC, stainless steel, carbon steel, etc., to suit different applications and requirements. They are commonly used in plumbing, industrial processes, and other fluid transportation systems. Proper installation and alignment are essential to ensure the efficient and uninterrupted flow of fluids through the pipes.”
