This reducing socket provides a straightforward method for connecting two ABS pipes of different diameters, offering a dependable transition within a pressure or process system. When paired with ABS solvent cement and cleaner, it delivers a robust permanent joint with minimal installation complexity. The fitting benefits from the inherent qualities of ABS, including high impact strength, low moisture absorption and strong resistance to many diluted chemicals. Its lightweight yet rigid construction makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications where secure size changes are required.
