Stainless Steel Eccentric Reducers
A stainless eccentric reducer is an offset AISI 304 fitting that joins two stainless pipes of different sizes so that one edge stays level.
It is used on stainless pump suction lines to prevent air pockets and to ensure drainage on horizontal lines. The store stocks selected sizes from 2″ × 1 1/2″ to 8″ × 6″.
Main Applications
- Stainless pump suction lines
- Full drainage in horizontal food lines
- Preventing liquid build-up in CIP lines
- Tank outlet lines
- Chemical transfer lines
- Keeping the bottom level on supported lines

Full Drainage
- No liquid build-up in food lines
Stainless Body
- Hygienic and corrosion resistant
Support Level
- Pipe bottom level is kept
Construction and Design Features
- Conical body with one flat side and offset axis
- Two weld ends of different sizes
- Ends suited to TIG welding
- Uncoated stainless
