Tyco Products 5506020S Grooved Concentric Reducer 6X2

Product Description

The TYCO PRODUCTS 5506020S is a grooved concentric reducer designed for piping systems that require a transition between two different pipe diameters along a shared centerline. Sized at 6X2, this fitting connects via grooved ends on both sides, making it compatible with standard grooved coupling systems. It is used in fire protection, HVAC, and industrial piping applications where a reliable, mechanically joined pipe reduction is required. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and fire sprinkler contractors are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

This concentric reducer is suited for systems where pipe diameter changes must maintain a centered pipe axis, which is common in overhead fire suppression mains, chilled water distribution, and process piping. The grooved x grooved connection style allows for fast field assembly using standard grooved couplings without welding or threading. The 6X2 size covers a significant diameter reduction, making it appropriate for branch transitions or system header reductions.

Key Features

• Concentric design keeps pipe centerlines aligned during diameter transitions
• Grooved x grooved connections on both ends for mechanical coupling assembly
• 6X2 size accommodates large-to-small diameter pipe transitions
• Compatible with standard grooved pipe coupling systems used in fire protection and HVAC piping
• Sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved fitting for use in grooved piping systems requiring a concentric reduction from a 6-inch to a 2-inch pipe diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter, plumber, or fire sprinkler contractor in accordance with applicable codes including NFPA 13 for fire suppression systems or IPC for plumbing applications. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any grooved fittings. Use properly rated grooved couplings and verify that pipe ends are cut and grooved to the correct specification before assembly. Do not overtighten coupling bolts beyond the coupling manufacturer's stated procedure.
