Description
XXH Schedule 80 Swage
XXH Schedule 80 Swages provide a compact transition from a larger nominal pipe size to a smaller nominal pipe size in compatible heavy-wall piping systems. The tapered swage design creates an in-line reduction while the XXH configuration is intended for demanding piping applications requiring a heavier construction.
These swages are commonly used in industrial piping, process systems, fabrication, construction, maintenance, petroleum-transfer, agricultural, oil and gas, and other compatible fluid-handling applications where a compact pipe-size reduction is required.

Construction Details
The XXH Schedule 80 Swage features a tapered reducing body designed to transition from a larger nominal pipe diameter to a smaller nominal pipe diameter.
The XXH configuration is intended for compatible heavy-wall piping applications where a robust reducing transition is required. The compact swage profile can be useful where installation space is limited or a direct in-line reduction is preferred.
Depending on the selected configuration, swage ends may be prepared for threaded or welded installation. Always confirm the exact pipe sizes, end preparation, wall requirements, material, pressure, temperature, and service conditions before ordering.
How an XXH Swage Works
Larger Pipe End
The larger end connects to the larger nominal pipe size in the piping system and begins the tapered reduction.
Reduced Pipe End
The tapered body transitions to the smaller nominal pipe size, allowing the piping system to continue at the required reduced diameter.
XXH Heavy-Wall Construction
XXH identifies a very heavy-wall piping configuration used in compatible demanding applications. Actual wall dimensions and end geometry depend on nominal pipe size and the specific swage configuration.
Because XXH dimensions can differ significantly from standard or XH configurations, confirm the adjoining piping dimensions and selected fitting specifications before fabrication or installation.
XXH vs. XH Swage
XXH Swage
Designed for compatible very heavy-wall piping applications where XXH construction is required by the piping specification.
XH Swage
Uses an Extra Heavy configuration for compatible heavier-wall piping applications. Always select the wall class required by the adjoining pipe and system specification.
Swage vs. Standard Pipe Reducer
Swage
Provides a compact tapered transition between nominal pipe sizes and is useful where a direct in-line reduction is needed.
Standard Reducer
Also reduces pipe size but may have a different overall body profile, end preparation, or installed length depending on the piping system.

Selecting the Correct XXH Schedule 80 Swage
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Large-End Size | Confirm the nominal pipe size required on the larger end. |
| Reduced-End Size | Confirm the smaller nominal pipe size required by the piping system. |
| Wall Requirement | Verify the selected XXH configuration matches the adjoining piping specification. |
| End Preparation | Confirm whether threaded or beveled ends are required for the intended installation. |
| Operating Conditions | Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, and system requirements before installation. |
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm both the larger and reduced nominal pipe sizes before ordering.
- Verify the XXH wall requirement matches the adjoining piping specification.
- Confirm the selected end preparation matches the intended connection method.
- Align the swage correctly before completing threaded or welded installation.
- Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility before use.

What is an XXH Schedule 80 Swage?
It is a heavy-wall tapered reducing fitting designed to transition from a larger nominal pipe size to a smaller nominal pipe size.
What does XXH mean?
XXH identifies a very heavy-wall piping configuration used in compatible demanding piping applications.
What is the purpose of a swage?
A swage provides a compact in-line transition between two different nominal pipe sizes.
What is the difference between XXH and XH?
XXH is a heavier-wall configuration than XH for compatible pipe sizes. The required wall class should be selected according to the adjoining piping and system specification.
Are XXH swages threaded or welded?
End preparation can vary by selected configuration. Confirm whether the required swage is supplied with threaded or beveled ends before ordering.
How do I choose the correct swage size?
Confirm both the larger nominal pipe size and the smaller reduced nominal pipe size required by the piping system.
Where are XXH swages commonly used?
They are commonly used in compatible industrial piping, process piping, oil and gas, construction, fabrication, maintenance, petroleum-transfer, and other heavy-duty piping applications.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm both pipe sizes, XXH wall requirements, end preparation, material compatibility, pressure, temperature, media, and installation method.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Configuration is XXH heavy-wall swage.
- Confirm both the large-end and reduced-end nominal pipe sizes before ordering.
- Verify the selected end preparation matches the intended piping connection.
- Confirm compatibility with the adjoining heavy-wall piping specification.
- Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, and application requirements before use.
