PTFE Lined Eccentric Reducer
Lined eccentric reducer, NB 3/4"×1/2" to 16"×14"
Lined eccentric reducer with offset centre lines — keeps a horizontal line flat on one side so it drains fully or avoids trapping gas. 25 combinations, face to face 114 mm to 457 mm.

Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
An eccentric reducer offsets the two bores so that one side of the pipe stays flat through the size change. Fitted flat-side-down a horizontal line drains completely; fitted flat-side-up it will not trap gas at a pump suction. Neither is possible with a concentric reducer.
Construction and lining follow the concentric reducer: ASTM A 106 Gr. B body, B16.5 Class 150 flanges, both flanges fixed as standard, and the same lining pattern in which PTFE is marked on the one-step reductions and the wider steps are listed in PFA and FEP.
Features
Built into every unit.
- Offset centre lines — one side of the bore stays flat
- 25 size combinations from NB 3/4"×1/2" to 16"×14"
- Reducer body to ASTM A 106 Gr. B, flanges to B16.5 Class 150
- Standard version has both flanges fixed
- Face to face 114 mm to 457 mm
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Lets a horizontal line drain completely through the size change
- Avoids trapping gas at a pump suction when fitted flat-side-up
- Outstanding corrosion resistance to aggressive organic and inorganic chemicals across a wide temperature range
- Non-stick, non-wetting bore — low surface energy keeps product moving and simplifies cleaning
- Chemically inert and pure; no additives, plasticisers, stabilisers or lubricants to contaminate the process fluid
- The lowest coefficient of friction of any solid, reducing pressure drop and deposit build-up
Applications & industries

Typical applications
- Pump suction lines that must not trap vapour
- Horizontal runs that have to drain fully for cleaning
- Bore changes where the pipe support level cannot move
- Corrosive acid, alkali and solvent transfer
- High-purity duties where metal pick-up is unacceptable

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
Flat side down where the line must drain; flat side up on a pump suction so vapour is not trapped against the top of the pipe.
Yes — the catalogue lists the same face-to-face figures for both, so the two are interchangeable on length.
