This fitting transitions from a 2-inch pipe to a 1\/2-inch pipe using butt weld end connections on both ends, making it suitable for welded piping systems where alignment and flow control are critical. Built to Schedule 10 wall thickness, it is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working in process, industrial, or commercial piping systems. The 304L low-carbon stainless steel grade offers good corrosion resistance and is well suited for sanitary, chemical, and food-grade environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis eccentric reducer is used in piping systems where the flat bottom alignment of an eccentric fitting is required to prevent air pockets in liquid lines or to allow full drainage in horizontal runs. Typical applications include process piping, industrial fluid handling, and commercial plumbing installations where Schedule 10 stainless fittings are specified. It is appropriate for both above-ground and in-wall or in-ceiling mechanical systems where a welded connection is preferred over threaded or press-fit alternatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEccentric design maintains a flat side to support proper drainage and air elimination in horizontal pipe runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e304L low-carbon stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance and weldability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eButt weld connections on both ends for a strong, permanent joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness for lightweight yet durable piping installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 inch to 1\/2 inch size transition accommodates significant diameter reductions in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems requiring a 2 inch by 1\/2 inch eccentric reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or welder certified for stainless steel butt weld procedures. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing piping. Follow applicable codes including ASME B16.9 for butt weld fittings and local plumbing or mechanical codes. Use appropriate purge gas and filler material rated for 304L stainless steel to avoid sensitization at the weld zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 2 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\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: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 40175300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 01413-3208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51543400153394,"sku":"01413-3208","price":710.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c7da2a8539f454e6c688762880367b7_8849f14c-07cb-4754-aa15-f01f1c85fc58.jpg?v=1785917921","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01413-3208-eccentric-reducer-2x1-2-in-304l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
