When joining two sections of a pipe

When joining two sections of a pipe, it is necessary to have a type of reducer that will ensure a smooth connection. Reducers come in 2 forms: concentric and eccentric. A concentric reducer is used when you want to attach one pipe section on top of another. An eccentric reducer is used when you want to attach one pipe section to the side of another.

The concentric reducer has a cone shaped Seamless concentric reducers body with sharp points on it that will hold the pipe sections firmly in place. The eccentric reducer has an elliptical shape. One end of the elliptical reducer is slightly larger than the other, making it possible to line up the ends of the pipe sections.
