It transitions a 4-inch pipe down to a 1-1\/2-inch pipe with an offset centerline, which keeps one side of the fitting flat. This eccentric geometry prevents air pockets in liquid lines and prevents liquid accumulation in gas or steam lines depending on orientation. The body is machined from 316L stainless steel, offering strong resistance to corrosion and pitting in aggressive process, chemical, and sanitary environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis eccentric reducer is suited for use in process piping, industrial fluid systems, sanitary lines, and commercial plumbing installations where a flat-bottom or flat-top transition is required between different pipe sizes. The 316L grade is commonly specified in food processing, pharmaceutical, marine, and chemical handling applications where standard 304 stainless may not provide adequate corrosion resistance. The butt weld end connections make this fitting appropriate for fully welded, leak-tight systems operating under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEccentric design maintains flat side alignment to control air and liquid pockets at pipe size transitions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L stainless steel construction provides enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh chemical and sanitary environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld x butt weld end connections for fully welded, permanent pipe joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness for lightweight, lower-pressure system applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTransitions 4-inch pipe to 1-1\/2-inch pipe in a single fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style butt weld eccentric reducer for Schedule 10 stainless steel piping systems with a 4-inch to 1-1\/2-inch transition requirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or licensed plumber with orbital or manual TIG welding capability appropriate for 316L stainless steel. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into an existing line. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.3 for process piping or ASME B31.1 for power piping when specifying weld procedures and inspection requirements. Do not use on systems exceeding the pressure-temperature rating of Schedule 10 316L stainless fittings.\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: 4 x 1-1\/2 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: 0.75 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: 01613-6424\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540716060978,"sku":"01613-6424","price":978.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c7da2a8539f454e6c688762880367b7_10340880-61bc-4d3c-9f07-75f213a9444b.jpg?v=1785862767","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01613-6424-eccentric-reducer-4x1-5-in-316l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
