Grooved Concentric Reducers

ARGCO’s Model 701 Grooved Concentric Reducer is a precision-engineered fitting designed to transition between different pipe sizes while maintaining a centered flow path. This design ensures balanced fluid movement and minimizes turbulence within the system.

Designed for use with carbon steel piping systems (Schedule 10 and Schedule 40), this reducer provides a secure connection between grooved piping and associated components, making it ideal for fire protection and general piping applications.

Key Features

• Concentric reducer design maintains centered flow path
• Provides smooth transition between different pipe sizes
• Maximum working pressure up to 300 psi (20 bar)
• Compatible with Schedule 10 and Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe
• Wide range of reducing size combinations available (1-1/2" through 12")
• Ductile iron construction per ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12
• Standard orange enamel coating
• Optional hot dipped galvanized finish available
• UL, ULC, and FM listed/approved

Typical Applications

Used in piping systems where a change in pipe diameter is required while maintaining alignment of the centerline. Commonly applied in fire protection systems, including sprinkler and standpipe installations, as well as general service piping systems.

Construction Details

Manufactured from ductile iron conforming to ASTM A536 Grade 65-45-12 for strength and durability. The standard coating is orange enamel, with optional hot dipped galvanizing available for enhanced corrosion resistance.

Designed for use with standard grooved piping systems, this reducer ensures a rigid and reliable connection between varying pipe sizes.

Important Notes

Working pressure ratings are based on standard weight (ANSI) steel pipe grooved in accordance with ARGCO specifications. Always follow ARGCO installation instructions and verify compatibility with the intended application and system requirements.
