Penn Machine 2491300801 Socket Weld Reducer 3000 Lb

Product Description

The PENN MACHINE 2491300801 is a forged carbon steel socket weld reducer designed for high-pressure piping systems in industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications. This fitting reduces pipe from a 1-1/4 inch nominal connection to a 1 inch nominal connection using a socket weld end style, making it suitable for permanent, high-integrity joints. Rated at 3000 lb pressure class and manufactured to SCH 80/XH schedule, it is built to handle demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in steam, hydraulic, and process piping systems where reliability and code compliance are critical.

This reducer is suited for use in industrial process lines, HVAC mechanical rooms, steam distribution, and hydraulic piping systems requiring a reliable reduction in line size. Its forged construction and 3000 lb pressure class rating make it appropriate for both commercial and heavy industrial installations. The Series 13008 designation identifies this fitting within Pennsylvania Machine Works' catalog of forged pipe fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber in accordance with applicable codes, including ASME B31.1 or B31.3 as appropriate to the service. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before beginning any fitting work. Socket weld fittings require a small gap between the pipe end and the socket shoulder prior to welding to allow for thermal expansion during the weld pass. All welds should be performed by a qualified welder following applicable procedure specifications.
