A pipe reducer is a distinctively shaped transition fitting that resembles a short, tapered cylinder or cone 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 central axis. Eccentric reducers look asymmetrical, featuring a sloped taper 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 networks or molded white or gray plastic fittings in residential PVC plumbing.
