Pipe reducers are distinctively shaped transition fittings that resemble short cones or tapered cylinders connecting a larger opening on one end to a smaller opening on the other end. Concentric reducers look like symmetrical funnels where the reduction tapers evenly on all sides toward the center axis. Eccentric reducers look asymmetrical, featuring a tapered slope on one side while the opposite side remains completely straight and flat. Depending on the material, they can appear as polished metal castings in industrial steel systems or molded plastic fittings in residential PVC plumbing.
