Description:

Metal thread reducers, also known as metal thread reducing rings or metal thread adapters, are a type of metal transition fitting used in mechanical, piping, or electrical connections to convert a large-diameter thread to a small-diameter thread. Made from brass or stainless steel 304, 316 or 316L, they are new standard fittings which are used to reduce, enlarge or adapt thread sizes, they are designed with round or hexagonal type and available in a selection of standard sizes. Add the same or smaller sized threads to clearance holes, adapt threaded holes for different sizes or unit system, they provide a straight forward and reliable connection method between glands and smaller threads.

Advantages:

(1) Strong and durable: made of brass, it is resistant to mechanical shock, high temperatures, and high pressures.

(2) High tightness and sealing: the threads fit tightly, typically used with sealing rings or sealants, effectively preventing water and dust ingress, making it suitable for harsh environments.

(3) Space and cost savings: compared to re-machining interfaces or replacing fittings, using reducing rings is less expensive and occupies less space.

(4) Easy installation: the design typically allows for easy installation with a wrench for direct tightening.

Applications:
Metal thread reducers are widely used in industrial fields requiring precision connections and non-standard fits:
► Electromechanical equipment and automation: it is used for threaded connector conversion in electrical devices such as sensors, instruments, and junction boxes.
► Plumbing and sanitary piping installation: it reduces larger water pipe connections to smaller ones (e.g., G3/4 to G1/2) in homes and industries.
► Industrial connectors and housings: it reduces the diameter of heavy-duty connector cables.
► Pneumatic and hydraulic systems: it converts between different types of hydraulic or pneumatic hoses.
