Flanged concentric reducers are also commonly called flanged concentric reducers, and belong to integrally flanged reducing pipe fittings. The centers of both ends are on the same central axis, and the shape is a symmetrical cone. Both ends have their own flange plates, and pipeline connection is completed by bolts together with sealing gaskets, without the need for on-site hot work welding, making disassembly, assembly, and maintenance convenient. They are mainly used on vertical risers to connect two sections of pipeline with different nominal diameters, allowing the fluid to transition smoothly at the reducing point, adjusting the medium flow rate, reducing local pressure drop, and solving the problem of mismatched diameters of pipelines, valves, and equipment on risers. The interior is a smooth conical flow channel, the medium flows smoothly, turbulence is low, and pipe wall erosion loss is low. The products implement standards such as GB/T17185, GB/T12459, HG/T21635, ASME B16.5, etc., with nominal diameters DN15 to DN1200, and support arbitrary diameter reducing combinations at both ends. Pressure ratings cover national standards PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64, PN100, and American standards Class150 to Class1500. Materials can be selected from 20# carbon steel, Q235B, Q345B, 304/304L/316/316L stainless steel, 16Mn alloy steel, ductile iron, and can also be customized according to project 2
Overview
The flange concentric reducer is a reducing pipe fitting with flanges at both ends and centers on the same axis, with a symmetrical conical shape. It is mainly used on vertical risers to connect two sections of pipe with different nominal diameters, achieving smooth fluid reduction, adjusting medium flow velocity, reducing local pressure drop, and solving the problem of mismatched diameters of pipes, valves, and equipment on risers. The product has an integrated flange structure at both ends, relying on bolts and sealing gaskets to complete pipeline connection, without the need for on-site hot work welding, and is easy to disassemble and maintain. The internal smooth conical flow channel allows smooth medium flow, low turbulence, and low pipe wall erosion loss. We provide common specifications from DN15 to DN1200, support arbitrary diameter reduction combinations at both ends, and can confirm configurations according to project requirements.
Key Features
The flange concentric reducer has engineering advantages such as being dedicated to risers, coaxial symmetry, smooth flow channel, weld-free quick installation, and stable force bearing. The coaxial centered symmetrical structure makes riser installation highly vertical, evenly stressed, and free of eccentric load, making it less prone to deformation and loosening during long-term operation, and suitable for high-altitude vertical pipelines. The conical integrated flow channel provides smooth transition, low medium transportation resistance, low pressure drop, weak turbulence, and light pipe wall erosion. The integrated flanges at both ends are connected by bolts and gaskets, requiring no hot work welding on site, reducing construction safety risks and facilitating later disassembly and maintenance. Diameter, pressure, material, flange type, and sealing face can be combined and confirmed according to project requirements.
Applications
The flange concentric reducer is specifically used for vertical riser reduction scenarios, covering civil buildings, municipal engineering, industrial production, power and heating, and environmental protection and chemical industries in various riser systems. Civil scenarios include building water supply and drainage vertical riser reduction, central air conditioning HVAC vertical pipeline diameter transition, building fire protection main riser reduction, and machine room equipment vertical interface matching. Municipal scenarios are used for urban water supply risers, heating vertical pipe networks, and rainwater and sewage vertical pipeline reduction connections. Industrial scenarios are used for chemical process vertical pipelines, power plant circulating water risers, sewage treatment vertical pipe networks, and oil and gas engineering vertical pipelines. For horizontal pipelines, it is recommended to prioritize eccentric reducers to avoid gas pockets, liquid accumulation, and water hammer problems.

Procurement & Delivery
The flange concentric reducer adopts a flexible minimum order mechanism. Mainstream conventional in-stock specifications support ordering from 1 piece, including PN16 and PN25 conventional pressures, and commonly used concentric reducer models in carbon steel and 304 stainless steel, which can meet procurement volumes such as sample submission for inspection, sporadic maintenance, small order replenishment, engineering centralized procurement, and foreign trade export. The warehouse keeps common standard stock, and shipments are made within 24 hours after order confirmation. Please contact us to confirm the specific delivery time. Packaging adopts graded industrial protection: DN15-DN100 small-diameter products are individually wrapped in bubble film and packed in hard cartons; DN125-DN400 medium-diameter products are reinforced overall with multi-layer winding film; DN450 and above large-diameter heavy-duty products are fixed on solid wood pallets, locked with steel straps, and fully wrapped with waterproof film. The outer packaging is marked with specifications, reduction dimensions, material, pressure, standard, and batch information, and supports foreign trade fumigated wooden pallets, waterproof packaging, and customized shipping marks.

FAQ
What pipelines are flange concentric reducers suitable for?
Concentric reducers are only suitable for vertical risers, with axisymmetric centerlines, uniform force distribution, and no liquid or gas accumulation, making them specialized reducing pipe fittings for vertical water supply and drainage, fire protection, HVAC, and process piping. For horizontal piping, eccentric reducers should be preferred, which can avoid gas pockets, liquid accumulation, and water hammer problems.
Is on-site welding construction required?
Both ends of the product come with integrated flanges, and connection is completed through bolts paired with sealing gaskets, without the need for on-site hot work welding. Disassembly, assembly, and maintenance are convenient, reducing welding operations and leakage risks in riser construction.
What nominal diameters and pressure ratings are supported?
Nominal diameter DN15 to DN1200, supporting arbitrary diameter reduction combinations at both ends. Pressure ratings cover national standards PN6, PN10, PN16, PN25, PN40, PN64, PN100, and American standards Class150 to Class1500. Please contact us to confirm specific configurations.
What are the minimum order quantity and delivery time?
