Long PE reducers SDR17

Long PE reducers are used to step down one or more sizes in pressurised PE pipelines. The long, conical transition gives a gradual change in flow area and allows the reducer to be welded in even where the distance to neighbouring pipe fittings is limited. The fitting is injection moulded in PE100 and in SDR17 intended for pressure class PN10. Installation is by electrofusion coupler or butt fusion, so the welding method can be chosen to suit the conditions in the trench or in prefabrication. The range is available in both SDR11 (PN16) and SDR17 (PN10) and covers size combinations from 75/63 mm upwards in SDR17, meaning the same series can be used from smaller pipelines to larger mains. Short reducers for butt fusion are available as a complement where the face-to-face length needs to be kept short.
