About Reducing bushes

Reducing pieces join two pipe threads of different size in a single part, so no adapter pair with an extra sealing point is needed. The group combines female threads from Rp 1/4 to Rp 2 1/2 with male threads from R 3/8 to R 3. The fittings are cast from black malleable iron B350-10.

What matters when choosing

• Thread 1: the female side runs from Rp 1/4 to Rp 2 1/2 and defines the smaller end of the transition.
• Thread 2: the male side runs from R 3/8 to R 3. The combination of both sides gives the reduction step, which should stay within what the line tolerates before flow velocity rises too far.
• Thread standard ISO 7-1: the tapered male threads seal in the thread itself, so sealant and tightening allowance have to be planned for.
• Material: black malleable iron B350-10, design symbol A, a grade specified for mechanical load in pipework.
• Length and across-flats size: in crowded manifolds the length of the reducer decides whether a pipe wrench can still be applied.

Typical applications

• Pipework where a header is stepped down to smaller branches
• Compressed air distribution from the ring main to the machine connection
• Existing heating and water lines where old and new nominal sizes meet
• Connecting valves, filters and stopcocks that carry a different thread size
• Pump and vessel ports where the stub is larger than the continuing line

The fittings in this group are built to DIN EN 10242, the threads follow ISO 7-1 and the material is black malleable iron B350-10 with design symbol A. Surface quality is to DIN 2444 and manufacturing takes place in China.
