Victaulic Company FE65050G0C Concentric Reducer Grooved

Product Description

The VICTAULIC COMPANY FE65050G0C is a grooved-end concentric reducer designed for transitioning between pipe sizes in pressurized piping systems. Built to Model 50 specifications, this fitting connects 6-inch to 2-1/2-inch pipe using a standard grooved-end connection. The body is cast from ductile iron meeting ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 and finished with a hot-dipped galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 1000 psi and measures 4 inches in length. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in fire protection, HVAC, and industrial piping assemblies where grooved couplings are the specified joining method.

This concentric reducer is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations that require a smooth, centered transition between a 6-inch and 2-1/2-inch grooved pipe run. Its concentric geometry keeps the pipe centerline aligned, which is important in horizontal runs where drainage pitch or flow alignment must be maintained. The hot-dipped galvanized finish makes it appropriate for wet or moderately corrosive service environments. Installations in fire suppression systems, chilled water loops, and process piping commonly specify this style of grooved fitting where rapid, tool-assisted assembly is required.

Key Features

• Grooved-end connection on both ends for use with standard grooved couplings
• Ductile iron body conforming to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 for impact resistance and strength
• Hot-dipped galvanized finish provides corrosion protection in wet service environments
• Rated to 1000 psi maximum working pressure
• Concentric design maintains pipe centerline alignment through the transition
• UL Classified per ANSI/NSF 61 and ANSI/NSF 372, C/US UL Listed, FM, LPCB, CTP, ABS, LR, and RINA Approved

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style grooved-end concentric reducer for use with 6-inch by 2-1/2-inch grooved pipe systems where Model 50 fittings are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed pipefitter or plumber familiar with grooved piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing fitting or coupling. Ensure pipe ends are properly grooved to manufacturer specifications before seating the coupling housing. Reference applicable NFPA, IPC, or local mechanical code requirements for fire protection and pressure piping installations.
