Does anyone know a supplier of slip-on reducing flanges or have they been completely discontinued? I have need of a 6"-600# slip-on flange with a hub for a 2" pipe. I have found old descriptions and how to order but as yet no supplier.

This goes to show that no one knows about every sort of fitting. I have never heard of a "reducing slip-on flange". I have both Ladish and Tube Turns catalogs and neither one carry it. In fact, their reducing flanges look a lot like a blind flange that has been pierced and threaded. I've done the same thing many times by putting a Weld-O-Let or a Thread-O-Let in a blind flange. I suppose for pipe made up with socket welds you could let a socket collar into a blind flange the same way.

I found the flange and order description in the old Ladish Fitting Catalog No. 55 on pages 156 & 157. It is exactly what I'm looking for. (2"x14"-600lb. Slip-On Reducing Flange Part No. R-61) I realise I can have them fabricated from blinds, weld bosses and reinforcing plate, but I am trying to eliminate the fabrication even if it means that the supplier would have to do it. I am passing a 2" siphon pipe through a 6" pipe sleeve into a 36" pipe header.

Thanks,
 
It sounds like you're building something similar to an injection quill. I would just look up a local supplier of injection quills. Tell them what you want and they will build it for you and get whatever registration is required in your local jurisdiction.
