A reducing union is a type of pipe fitting used to join two pipes of different sizes together. It is designed to facilitate the transition from a larger pipe to a smaller one or vice versa, allowing for a smooth and efficient flow of fluids or gases within a system.
The reducing union consists of three main components: a male end, a female end, and a nut. The male end is larger in diameter and is inserted into the larger pipe, while the female end is smaller and fits into the smaller pipe. The nut is used to tighten and secure the connection, ensuring a leak-free joint.
Reducing unions are commonly used in plumbing, HVAC systems, and industrial applications. They can be found in water supply systems, irrigation systems, and process piping. These fittings are available in various materials, including brass, stainless steel, and PVC, ensuring compatibility with different fluids and environments.
