Fabricated from 316L stainless steel, this fitting offers enhanced corrosion resistance suitable for demanding process, industrial, and plumbing applications. The eccentric design prevents air pockets and allows for better drainage compared to concentric reducers, making it the preferred choice when maintaining a consistent bottom-of-pipe elevation is required. Both ends feature butt weld connections for a permanent, full-penetration weld joint. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis eccentric reducer transitions a 1-1\/2 inch pipe down to a 3\/4 inch pipe and is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems including process lines, sanitary systems, and mechanical rooms where stainless steel piping is specified. The 316L low-carbon grade minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, making it appropriate for applications where post-weld annealing is not practical. The butt weld end connection integrates directly into welded piping assemblies per standard pipe fabrication practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance in aggressive media and wet environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow-carbon 316L grade reduces risk of intergranular corrosion in welded joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEccentric profile maintains flat-bottom alignment for drainage and pump inlet applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld x butt weld end connections for permanent, leak-free pipe joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness suitable for low- to moderate-pressure piping systems\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 with a 1-1\/2 inch inlet and 3\/4 inch outlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of butt weld fittings requires a qualified welder or certified pipefitter following applicable codes such as ASME B31.3 or B31.1 depending on the service application. Ensure the piping system is fully depressurized and drained before cutting into an existing line. Verify pipe schedule and material compatibility before welding to avoid dissimilar-metal joint issues. Post-weld cleaning or passivation of stainless steel joints may be required per project specifications.\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: 1-1\/2 x 3\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: 316L 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: 0.415 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: 01613-2412\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541771288882,"sku":"01613-2412","price":232.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c7da2a8539f454e6c688762880367b7_af1b8792-5620-4f0b-ba0b-565ab7c0debb.jpg?v=1785884595","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01613-2412-eccentric-reducer-1-5x0-75-in-316l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
