{"product_id":"reducing-sockets","title":"Reducing Sockets","description":"\u003cp\u003eReducing Sockets are threaded pipe fittings used to join two different BSP pipe sizes in a single inline connection. Manufactured from malleable iron, they feature female BSPT threads at both ends, allowing for a smooth and reliable transition between differing diameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThey are widely used in fire protection, plumbing, heating and industrial pipework systems where size reduction is required without introducing additional fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Female-to-female BSPT threaded design \u003cbr\u003e• Allows direct reduction between pipe sizes \u003cbr\u003e• Manufactured from durable malleable iron \u003cbr\u003e• Compact inline fitting for space-saving installations \u003cbr\u003e• Strong, leak-resistant threaded connection \u003cbr\u003e• Suitable for a wide range of pipework systems \u003cbr\u003e• Available in corrosion-resistant finishes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReducing Sockets are designed to connect two male threaded pipe components of different sizes, enabling a direct transition between pipe diameters within a single fitting. This eliminates the need for separate reducers and couplings, simplifying installation and reducing the number of joints in the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTypically manufactured from malleable cast iron, these fittings offer a strong yet slightly ductile structure, providing excellent resistance to mechanical stress, vibration and installation torque. This makes them suitable for demanding threaded pipework applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe BSPT (tapered) female threads are engineered to form a secure, pressure-tight seal when installed with appropriate sealing compounds or PTFE tape. The tapered design ensures reliable engagement and consistent performance across a range of operating conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eReducing sockets are commonly produced in accordance with standards such as BS EN 10242 and are suitable for a variety of low to medium pressure systems depending on specification. They are frequently rated for use in water, air, gas, oil and fire protection applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTheir concentric design helps maintain a straight flow path, making them suitable for installations where alignment and flow efficiency are important. In systems where space is limited, they provide a compact and efficient method of adapting pipe sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAvailable in Black (self-colour) and Hot Dip Galvanised (HDG), they can be selected based on environmental conditions, with galvanised options offering enhanced corrosion resistance for external or more aggressive environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eApplications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for fire sprinkler systems, plumbing, heating, gas and oil pipework, HVAC installations and general industrial services where a direct reduction between threaded pipe sizes is required.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jinan Meide","offers":[{"title":"10mm \/ 6mm \/
