Need reducers!

[dextermech]

It seems like I am always finding the need for tubing reducers. For example, I am now on a small customer request project that requires the use of a 3 inch to 2 inch 304 stainless .060" wall reducer It seems like NOBODY makes reducers this size. Does anybody know where I can get them? Someone must make them.

Hi Dextermech

thin wall SS tube fittings are commonly used in the dairy industry. If you google dairy tube fittings you should find what youre after, or near enough.

On larger size carbon steel piping, we will quite often just fabricate a cone shape instead of buying a forged reducer. If the fittings in question are welded, you might check into that.

See McMaster-Carr's online catalog, page 153:

for butt- welded 304 stainless sanitary tubing reducers, concentric or eccentric, in .065" wall, polished or unpolished.
