Constructed from 304L stainless steel, this fitting offers reliable corrosion resistance in demanding fluid handling, process piping, and industrial applications. The butt weld end connections on both ends provide a full-penetration weld joint for a leak-tight, flush-bore connection. Rated for Schedule 10 wall thickness, this reducer suits systems where weight savings and moderate pressure requirements are priorities. Licensed pipefitters and plumbers install this fitting type in commercial and industrial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis concentric reducer is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process lines, food service, chemical handling, and HVAC hydronic piping where a stainless steel material grade is specified. The 304L low-carbon grade resists sensitization during welding, making it appropriate for applications requiring post-weld service without annealing. The concentric design maintains a centered flow path, which is preferred in vertical pipe runs and systems where uniform flow distribution is critical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304L low-carbon stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance and weld-friendly performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld x butt weld end connections for full-penetration, high-integrity joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConcentric design keeps pipe centerlines aligned, ideal for vertical installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness suits moderate-pressure piping applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces from 2-1\/2 inches to 1 inch in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems requiring a 2-1\/2 inch to 1 inch concentric reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or welder familiar with stainless steel butt weld procedures and applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or B31.9. Depressurize, drain, and isolate the pipe section completely before cutting or welding. Use appropriate purge gas backing when welding 304L stainless to prevent oxidation at the weld root. Verify pipe schedule and end-prep alignment before tacking to ensure a proper fit-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Concentric Reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 x 1 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 304L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Butt Weld x Butt Weld\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.905 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\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: MERIT BRASS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 01412-4016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541832597810,"sku":"01412-4016","price":115.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/698eef3affb098c8d4f0c2391de291f1_1d4e8677-4c21-4e0f-a413-55d5a5637e10.jpg?v=1785886232","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01412-4016-concentric-reducer-2-5x1-in-304l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
