Description
150 lb. Ductile Iron Flanged Eccentric Reducer
ASC / SCI FIG 38ER1 150 lb. Ductile Iron Flanged Eccentric Reducer provides a transition between different flanged pipe sizes while maintaining an offset centerline through the reducer.
The eccentric configuration is useful where maintaining the position of one side of the piping run is important. FIG 38ER1 is manufactured for compatible Class 150 flanged piping systems, with galvanizing available upon request.

Construction Details
FIG 38ER1 uses a ductile iron eccentric reducer body with flanged connections at both ends for installation between different nominal pipe sizes.
Unlike a concentric reducer, the eccentric design transitions between sizes with an offset centerline. This configuration can help maintain the elevation of one side of the piping run.
The flanged ends provide serviceable bolted connections to compatible piping components. ASC / SCI also offers galvanizing upon request for applications requiring an alternate protective finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the figure number for this eccentric reducer?
The ASC / SCI 150 lb. Ductile Iron Flanged Eccentric Reducer is FIG 38ER1.
What does an eccentric reducer do?
It transitions between two different pipe sizes while keeping the reducer centerlines offset rather than concentric.
What connections does FIG 38ER1 use?
FIG 38ER1 uses flanged connections on both ends for installation between compatible flanged piping components.
What is the difference between an eccentric and concentric reducer?
An eccentric reducer has an offset profile, while a concentric reducer transitions symmetrically around a common centerline.
Where are eccentric reducers commonly used?
They are commonly selected for pump piping, water systems, industrial piping, and other installations where reducer orientation or pipe elevation is important.
Why is reducer orientation important?
The eccentric profile has a specific offset direction, so its installed orientation should match the piping layout and equipment requirements.
Can FIG 38ER1 be galvanized?
Yes. ASC / SCI identifies galvanizing as available upon request.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both flange sizes, eccentric orientation, mating flange compatibility, gasket requirements, and intended system service.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm both flange sizes.
- Verify eccentric orientation.
- Use compatible flange gaskets.
- Support adjoining piping properly.
- Confirm intended system service.
