Pipe reducers are fittings used to connect pipes of different diameters, maintaining flow efficiency across plumbing, heating, or drainage systems. You’ll typically need to install these where piping need to change between sizes - such as between supply lines or in waste systems. A well-placed pipe reducer will ensure pressure is maintained and flow direction remains controlled. In modern construction, pipe reducers are most commonly made of PVC, copper, stainless steel, or MDPE, depending on system requirements. Compression, solvent weld, and push-fit variants are also standard, chosen based on the application and the level of permanence needed.
Drain pipe reducers and soil pipe reducers are used to manage flows in underground and vertical stack systems. Waste pipe reducers help transition from larger appliance connections to domestic drainage. All types are measured either by nominal bore or external diameter, depending on the material and standard. You’ll find options suitable for high-pressure, low-pressure, and gravity-fed systems across commercial and residential builds.
