Constructed from 304L stainless steel, this fitting connects via butt weld on both ends, making it suitable for systems where low-carbon stainless is required to minimize carbide precipitation in weld heat-affected zones. Weighing 0.42 pounds, it is a compact, weld-ready component used by licensed pipefitters and plumbers in industrial and commercial piping installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis eccentric reducer is used in piping systems where the flat-bottom alignment is critical, such as pump suction lines, drainage runs, and process piping where air pockets must be avoided. The butt weld end connections make it appropriate for high-integrity permanent joints in stainless steel process, sanitary, or utility piping. Typical applications include commercial HVAC hydronic systems, industrial process lines, and facility mechanical rooms requiring Schedule 10 stainless fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e304L stainless steel construction resists corrosion and is suited for weld-critical applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEccentric profile keeps one side flat, preventing air entrainment in pump suction and drainage lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld on both ends for permanent, high-integrity pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness for lightweight stainless piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 inch to 1 inch transition handles significant pipe size reductions 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-install fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems requiring a 2-1\/2 inch by 1 inch eccentric reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or welder certified for stainless steel butt weld joints. Depressurize and drain the affected piping section completely before cutting into the line. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 for process and pressure piping weld procedures. Do not use pipe dope or mechanical compression fittings with butt weld end connections.\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: 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: 0.42 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: 01413-4016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540176634162,"sku":"01413-4016","price":503.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c7da2a8539f454e6c688762880367b7_60da85f4-2916-49be-b760-f49f20c5d031.jpg?v=1785848050","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01413-4016-eccentric-reducer-2-5x1-in-304l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
