A reducer in sanitary fittings refers to a type of plumbing component that is used to connect pipes or fittings of different sizes. It is specifically designed to reduce the diameter of a pipe or fitting, allowing for a smooth transition between two sections of plumbing system with varying sizes.

Reducers are commonly used in sanitary or plumbing systems to accommodate changes in pipe size and ensure proper flow and functionality. They can be made from various materials such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), copper, brass, or stainless steel, depending on the specific application and the material used for the plumbing system.

The reduction in diameter provided by a reducer can be gradual or abrupt, depending on the specific design. Gradual reducers have a tapered shape, allowing for a more gradual transition between the two pipe sizes. Abrupt reducers, on the other hand, have a more stepped or straight design, providing a sudden change in diameter.

Reducers are available in various sizes, allowing for different combinations of pipe sizes to be connected. Common sizes include 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch, 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch, or 2 inches to 1-1/2 inches, among others.

When installing a reducer in a sanitary or plumbing system, it is important to ensure a proper and secure connection. This typically involves using appropriate adhesive or fittings, depending on the material and type of pipes being connected. Following the manufacturer's instructions and adhering to local plumbing codes and regulations is essential for a safe and reliable installation.

Overall, reducers play an important role in plumbing systems, allowing for the smooth transition between different pipe sizes and ensuring efficient flow and functionality of the sanitary fittings.
