Also known as a “swage” reducer, these fittings have become “regulars” here at Specified Fittings. They offer many advantages for a myriad of situations.
When a pipe fails, it’s rarely due to the main body of the pipe run. The flaw usually lies in the details: individual pipe fittings that must facilitate complex changes without causing pressure to impact any one point. A swedge reducer is one of these crucial pipe fittings, which is why we have devoted so much care and attention to designing reliable versions of this product.
A well made and implemented swedge reducer adjusts the diameter of the main pipe run without inhibiting flow. The smooth, rounded structure causes liquids to bounce rather than hit pressure points and create leaks. Our swedge reducers are built with two top priorities: eliminate failure points and maximize flow.
Our Swedge Reducers
One Piece Swedge Reducers
Each of our swedge reducers is built in one piece and composed of the same material throughout. We use pipe to reduce diameter instead of sheet material, as pipe is smoother and maximizes flow, protecting the rest of the pipeline from becoming damaged. Our swedge reducers are fully rated, adding no additional restrictions to your design. In addition to the practical perks, our single piece swedge reducers are also faster to manufacture, meaning they will be in your hands faster than multi-material fittings of the same variety.
Concentric and Eccentric Swedge Reducers
Our basic concentric design is available up to 63 inches in diameter. Concentric swedge reducers form a straight line in which the center of each section lines up exactly. For a fully optimized flow rate, we recommend an eccentric swedge reducer, which guides the movement of the contents by varying the center of each section. We custom-engineer eccentric swedge reducers to ensure a maximum flow rate for your project. In addition, we keep a stock of 48″x42″, 42″x36″, and 36″x30″ eccentric swedge reducers, designed for optimal flow characteristics.
All our swedge reducers are compliant with the American Water Works Association in all DR’s. A Factory Mutual certification will be included with your purchase upon request. Please contact us to order your custom swedge reducers.
