Hi all,

I have seen a note in a pipe isometric drawing concerning a excentric reducer with the acronym (P.I.P). Does anybody know what that mean?

Thanks in advance.  

RE: excentric reducer

The only tag I put on an eccentric reducer is either FOB (flat on bottom) or FOT (flat on top)

msquared48,

The document is in english. Maybe all is a mistake and there are no sense.

Thanks.

PIP on a piping drawing has sometimes  been known to mean "Piping in plane".

RE: excentric reducer

We should have probably asked if these reducers were in a vertical line or a horizontal line.  Normally, a reducer in a vertical line would be concentric.  But, I have a few top-suction, top-discharge pumps that had to use eccentric reducers because the lines are too close together.  PIP (Piping in Plane, as BigInch suggests) could suggest the orientation of the eccentric for reducers in this configuration.
