A reducing adaptor is a pipe fitting used to connect two threaded components of different sizes, allowing a controlled reduction in pipe or port diameter within a system. Unlike a reducing bushing, a reducing adaptor is typically male-to-female or male-to-male, depending on the application and connection requirement.
Reducing adaptors are commonly used in hydraulic, pneumatic, instrumentation, plumbing, and industrial piping systems where compatibility between different thread sizes or standards is required. They are available in various thread types such as NPT, BSPP with sealing achieved through tapered threads, O-rings, bonded seals, or metal-to-metal contact.
