Reducers<br />

Eccentric and concentric reducers, illustrated in Fig-<br />

ure 2-9, are used <strong>to</strong> reduce a line <strong>to</strong> a smaller size. Very<br />

few eccentric reducers are used in piping systems,<br />

therefore it is not difficult <strong>to</strong> tell which is which. The con-<br />

centric reducer has an inlet and outlet that are on a cen-<br />

ter line.<br />

The eccentric reducer has an off-center outlet, and is<br />

flat on one side. The eccentric reducer fits flush against<br />

a wall, ceiling, or floor <strong>to</strong> give greater pipe support <strong>to</strong> the<br />

line.<br />
