A standard pipe reducer looks like a short, tapered cylinder or a miniature cone connecting a wide opening on one end to a narrow opening on the other. Concentric reducers feature a symmetrical shape where the centerline remains uniform on all sides. Eccentric reducers look asymmetrical, featuring a sloping taper on one side while the opposite side remains perfectly flat and straight. Depending on the material, they appear as metallic castings in industrial steel networks or smooth white, gray, or black molded plastic fittings in residential plumbing systems.
