It connects two pipes of different diameters using butt weld end connections on both ends and is built to Schedule 10 wall thickness. The eccentric design offsets the centerlines of the two pipe ends, keeping one side flat — a critical characteristic in liquid systems where drainage and air elimination matter. This fitting is installed by licensed pipefitters, plumbers, and mechanical contractors working on process, industrial, or commercial piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis eccentric reducer is suited for process piping, industrial fluid handling, and commercial mechanical systems where corrosion resistance and weld-grade construction are required. The 316L low-carbon stainless alloy provides strong resistance to chloride environments and is commonly specified in chemical, food-grade, pharmaceutical, and marine applications. The butt weld end connection on both sides requires full-penetration welding, making it appropriate for high-integrity piping assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEccentric centerline offset keeps one side flat, supporting proper drainage and venting in liquid lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e316L low-carbon stainless steel construction resists corrosion in aggressive and chloride-heavy environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eButt weld x butt weld end connections for full-penetration, high-integrity pipe joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 10 wall thickness suitable for moderate-pressure piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6 x 2-1\/2 inch reducing size accommodates significant pipe diameter transitions 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-installation fitting for Schedule 10 stainless steel butt weld piping systems requiring a 6 x 2-1\/2 inch eccentric reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires a qualified pipefitter or welder certified for the applicable pipe material and process service. Depressurize and isolate the pipe system completely before cutting or fitting. Butt weld joints must be prepared with proper bevel angles and root gap per applicable welding procedure specifications — do not skip post-weld inspection where required by code. Applicable codes may include ASME B31.3 for process piping or ASME B31.1 for power piping depending on the system classification.\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: 6 x 2-1\/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: 1.6 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: 01613-9640\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MERIT BRASS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51542400893234,"sku":"01613-9640","price":2434.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5c7da2a8539f454e6c688762880367b7_84961a15-afca-49a2-9dde-de7f277d224e.jpg?v=1785899733","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/merit-brass-01613-9640-eccentric-reducer-6x2-5-in-316l-ss","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
