Sch40 ECCENTRIC REDUCER COUPLING (SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
System drainage issues and air pockets are the silent killers of efficient pump suction lines and horizontal piping runs. When standard concentric reducers are used in horizontal configurations, they create high spots that trap air, leading to pump cavitation, reduced flow rates, and eventual motor failure during the peak of summer demand. With project deadlines looming and local supply chains facing unpredictable lead times, waiting until a pump burns out is a risk your business cannot afford. Securing the correct eccentric fittings now ensures your systems pass inspection and remain operational when the heat is at its highest, providing you and your clients with the relief of a job done correctly the first time.
The Lesso Sch40 Eccentric Reducer Coupling provides a critical technical advantage by keeping the top of the pipe level, which effectively eliminates the risk of air entrapment in horizontal liquid lines. While lower-grade fittings may suffer from inconsistent wall thickness or poor socket tolerances, Lesso maintains strict quality control to ensure a reliable solvent weld every time. By utilizing these specialized fittings, your crews save hours on troubleshooting flow issues and avoid the high costs of emergency maintenance calls. Maintaining a stock of these components gives your firm a competitive edge, allowing you to complete complex manifold and pump station installs without the delays associated with specialty part sourcing.

- Potable water supply systems
Installation Notes
When installing in horizontal suction lines, ensure the flat side of the reducer is positioned at the top to prevent air from becoming trapped. Use a heavy duty PVC primer and solvent cement that meets ASTM standards for the specific pipe diameter you are joining. Always allow for adequate cure time based on ambient temperature and humidity before pressurizing the system; consult local plumbing codes to ensure compliance with specialized pump station configurations.
