Merit Brass 01413-1612 Eccentric Reducer 1x3/4 in 304L Ss

Product Description

The MERIT BRASS 01413-1612 is a Schedule 10 eccentric reducer designed to connect a 1-inch pipe to a 3/4-inch pipe with offset centerlines. Constructed from 304L stainless steel, this fitting resists corrosion in water, chemical, and sanitary piping systems. The eccentric design keeps the bottom of the pipe run flat, which is critical for draining lines fully and preventing air pockets in fluid systems. Threaded end connections with a butt weld configuration allow secure integration into compatible piping assemblies. Weighing 0.22 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight installation spaces.

This eccentric reducer is used in residential and commercial plumbing, process piping, and industrial fluid handling systems where a 1-inch to 3/4-inch diameter transition is required. The eccentric geometry makes it particularly well suited for horizontal runs in drainage and pump suction lines where maintaining a consistent bottom-of-pipe elevation is necessary. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in stainless steel piping systems that require corrosion resistance and hygienic service conditions.

Key Features

• 304L stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and chemical environments
• Eccentric design maintains flat bottom alignment for full drainage and air elimination in horizontal runs
• Schedule 10 wall thickness balances weight reduction with pressure-rated performance
• Threaded connection type with butt weld end connections for secure, leak-resistant assembly
• Compact size at 1 inch x 3/4 inch for tight-space installations
• Lightweight at 0.22 pounds, reducing load on pipe supports

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 3/4-inch eccentric reducer with threaded butt weld end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or ASME B31 piping codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Verify thread engagement and weld preparation meet project specifications before completing the connection. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as 304L stainless steel is susceptible to galling during assembly.
