Constructed from 304L stainless steel, this fitting offers corrosion resistance suitable for demanding piping environments. It uses a butt weld end connection on both ends with a threaded configuration, making it appropriate for welded stainless piping assemblies. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of reducer where drainage slope, pump inlet alignment, or air pocket prevention are design priorities in process and mechanical piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis eccentric reducer is suited for residential and light commercial mechanical systems as well as industrial process piping where stainless steel construction is specified. Its Schedule 10 wall thickness makes it a common choice in sanitary, food service, chemical handling, and HVAC hydronic piping applications where lower system pressure ratings are acceptable and weight savings are valued. The butt weld connection requires proper fitup and welding by qualified personnel per applicable piping codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304L stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical-exposure environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEccentric design offsets the centerlines to keep one side of the pipe flat, aiding drainage and venting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness reduces weight compared to heavier schedules while meeting many mechanical system requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld x butt weld end connections on both ends for fully welded, leak-resistant assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThreaded configuration compatible with standard stainless steel pipe assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch x 1\/2 inch reducing size covers a common pipe step-down transition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel pipe systems requiring a 3\/4 inch to 1\/2 inch eccentric reducing transition with butt weld end connections.\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 B31.1 or B31.3 depending on system service. Depressurize and fully drain the piping system before cutting into any existing line. Proper fitup, purge gas backing, and correct filler material selection are critical when welding 304L stainless to prevent carbide precipitation and maintain corrosion resistance. Do not use carbon steel tools or wire brushes on stainless steel surfaces during fitup or post-weld cleanup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Eccentric Reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitting Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/4 x 1\/2 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\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Threaded\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: 0.105 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: 01413-1208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541759754546,"sku":"01413-1208","price":214.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c7da2a8539f454e6c688762880367b7_0b44837b-5dfd-438c-b738-ccb15e387501.jpg?v=1785884223","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01413-1208-eccentric-reducer-3-4-x-1-2-in-304l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
