Tyco Products 5503015S Grooved Concentric Reducer 3x1-1/2

Product Description

The TYCO PRODUCTS 5503015S is a grooved concentric reducer designed for mechanical piping systems that require a transition between two different pipe diameters. This fitting connects a 3-inch pipe to a 1-1/2-inch pipe using grooved connections on both ends. The concentric configuration keeps the centerline of both pipe ends aligned, which is the standard choice for most horizontal and vertical piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction or retrofit work on fire suppression, HVAC hydronic, and industrial piping systems.

This reducer is suited for commercial and industrial piping applications where grooved mechanical joining systems are used. The grooved end connections allow the fitting to mate with standard grooved couplings, eliminating the need for threading or welding at the transition point. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for use in fire protection, chilled water, hot water heating, and other fluid distribution systems that use grooved pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• Concentric reducer configuration keeps pipe centerlines aligned
• Grooved x grooved connections on both ends for use with standard mechanical couplings
• 3-inch to 1-1/2-inch pipe size transition
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard grooved mechanical coupling systems used in commercial and industrial piping.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the system before removing any existing fittings or couplings. Grooved couplings must be installed per the coupling manufacturer's torque and gasket specifications. Verify that the grooved pipe ends meet the groove dimensions required for the coupling being used.
