Description
3000# Forged Steel Socket Weld Reducing Coupling
3000# Forged Steel Socket Weld Reducing Couplings provide a strong, compact transition between two different nominal pipe sizes in socket weld piping systems. Manufactured from normalized forged carbon steel, these fittings are designed for demanding industrial and process applications requiring durable welded connections.
The fittings conform to ASTM A105N-09, ASME SA105N, and ASME B16.11-2009. The normalized material provides enhanced hardness, strength, and machinability, and the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.

Reducing Coupling Design
The reducing coupling configuration provides two different-size socket weld connections, allowing a piping system to transition from one nominal pipe size to another while maintaining a compact straight-line connection.
Socket Weld Connections
Compatible pipe is inserted into each socket and welded around the outside of the fitting. The two socket sizes accommodate the required reduction between larger and smaller nominal pipe sizes.
