Description
3" x 2" Schedule 80 CPVC Eccentric Reducing Coupling (SOC)
3" x 2" Schedule 80 CPVC Eccentric Reducing Coupling (SOC) provides an offset size transition between compatible 3" and 2" Schedule 80 CPVC pipe. The eccentric configuration keeps one side of the flow path offset while reducing the nominal connection size.
The 3" x 2" Schedule 80 CPVC eccentric reducing coupling uses socket connections on both ends for solvent-cement joining. Selection should account for the 3" x 2" size combination, eccentric orientation, socket compatibility, piping alignment, system conditions, and proper CPVC joining procedures.

Eccentric Reducing Design
The eccentric reducing design transitions from 3" to 2" while keeping the smaller connection offset from the centerline of the larger connection. This differs from a concentric reducer where the reduction remains centered.
The eccentric orientation should be confirmed before installation because the offset direction can affect piping layout. Both nominal socket sizes should also be verified before ordering.
Socket Connections
The socket connections accept compatible 3" and 2" CPVC pipe at their corresponding ends. These interfaces use solvent-cement joining to integrate the fitting into the piping system.
Pipe ends and fitting sockets should be clean and properly prepared before assembly. Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed.
3" x 2" Offset Transition
The 3" x 2" configuration reduces the nominal piping size while maintaining an eccentric offset through the transition. This can be useful where maintaining a particular side of the piping profile is important to the layout.
The larger and smaller ends should be identified before installation. Proper support should be maintained on both sides so external loads are not transferred to the reducing coupling.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A 3" x 2" Schedule 80 CPVC Eccentric Reducing Coupling provides a molded offset size transition for compatible CPVC piping systems. Its two socket ends are designed for properly prepared solvent-cement joints.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping alignment and support should be maintained around the reduction.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 3" x 2" size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm eccentric orientation.
- Check piping alignment before joining.
- Support both sides of the transition.
Our piping specialists can help review the 3" x 2" size, eccentric orientation, socket compatibility, adjoining CPVC pipe, and installation requirements before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3" x 2" Schedule 80 CPVC Eccentric Reducing Coupling used for?
It provides an offset size transition between compatible 3" and 2" CPVC pipe.
What does eccentric mean?
Eccentric means the smaller connection is offset rather than centered with the larger connection.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket connection designed for compatible CPVC pipe and solvent-cement joining.
What sizes does this coupling connect?
The fitting transitions between compatible 3" and 2" CPVC pipe.
How are the socket connections installed?
The sockets are designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using appropriate preparation, joining materials, and cure procedures.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the 3" x 2" size, socket configuration, eccentric orientation, adjoining CPVC pipe sizes, and system requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the 3" x 2" size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm eccentric orientation.
- Check both adjoining pipe sizes.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
