Reducing Union NPT Manufacturer

What is a Reducing Union NPT?

A Reducing Union NPT is a specialized threaded pipe fitting designed to connect two pipes of different diameters using NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads. The purpose of this fitting is to enable a smooth and secure transition between mismatched pipe sizes without the need for welding or complex fabrication. Because it uses tapered NPT threads, the connection becomes tighter as the fitting is screwed in, creating a strong, leak-resistant seal suitable for various fluid and gas applications.

This type of union is widely used in piping systems where size adaptability is required while maintaining a removable connection. Unlike reducing couplings, which provide a permanent or semi-permanent connection, a reducing union allows the user to disassemble and reassemble the piping without disturbing the rest of the line. This makes it especially valuable in installations that require inspection, cleaning, or periodic maintenance.

Reducing Union NPT fittings are typically manufactured from high-strength materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and various nickel alloys. Their robust design ensures excellent resistance to pressure, temperature fluctuations, and corrosion depending on the material grade chosen. Because NPT threads are tapered, the fitting delivers a secure mechanical grip, making it suitable for both low-pressure and high-pressure systems across different industries.

In addition to standard piping applications, Reducing Union NPT connectors are commonly used in hydraulic lines, chemical plants, oil and gas pipelines, instrumentation loops, and compressed air systems. Their ability to offer size reduction combined with easy installation and superior sealing performance makes them one of the most reliable and versatile threaded fittings in industrial environments.
