This insert fits into an existing socket weld fitting, allowing a smaller-diameter pipe to seat correctly without requiring a full change of fittings. It ships in quantities of 100 units per carton, making it practical for contractors and wholesalers stocking job-site inventory. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or mechanical piping systems are the typical installers of this fitting type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis reducing insert is suited for socket weld piping assemblies where a 3\/4-inch socket must accept a 1\/2-inch pipe. It is commonly used in industrial process piping, mechanical rooms, and commercial plumbing applications where forged steel fittings are specified. The socket weld design provides a high-integrity, flush connection appropriate for higher-pressure systems where threaded connections are not preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eForged steel construction for strength and durability in pressure piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket weld end connection type for clean, reliable pipe joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing configuration transitions from 3\/4-inch socket to 1\/2-inch pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAvailable in carton quantities of 100 units, suitable for bulk stocking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at approximately 0.31 pounds per unit carton shipping weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style component for use in forged steel socket weld piping systems requiring a 3\/4-inch to 1\/2-inch reducing insert connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed pipefitters or plumbers in accordance with applicable mechanical and piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning any fitting work. Socket weld fittings require proper fit-up and qualified welding per applicable code requirements such as ASME B31.3 for process piping. Do not force or overtighten the insert into the socket, as proper seating is achieved before welding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Forged Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInner Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 082647106215\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MATCO-NORCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: mn-fw3ri0403\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MATCO-NORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51619465134386,"sku":"MN-FW3RI0403","price":17.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/matco-norca-mn-fw3ri0403-sw-reducing-insert-3-4x1-2","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
