S4R 316L Stainless Steel Straight Reducing Tube Unions provide a compact in-line transition between tubes of different outside diameters. Designed for laboratory, analytical and fluid-handling systems, their 316L stainless steel construction combines corrosion resistance with mechanical durability, while the compression / ferrule-type connection allows installation without welding the fitting directly to the tubing. Selected fractional-inch reducing combinations are available for common laboratory and instrumentation assemblies.

Select the tube-size combination corresponding to both tubes in the assembly. Tube sizes refer to nominal outside diameter.
Connection & Design
Straight reducer geometry provides an in-line transition between two different tube outside diameters.
Compression / ferrule-type connections allow installation without welding the fitting directly to the tubing.
The selected configuration must correspond to the actual outside diameters of both tubes.
The reducing configuration enables direct tube-size transitions while maintaining a compact in-line assembly.
Technical Notes
Verify both tube outside diameters before selecting the fitting configuration.
Tubing should be clean, round and free from surface damage in the connection areas.
Tube material and wall thickness should be appropriate for compression fitting installation.

Installation & System Compatibility
Verify both tube outside diameters, fitting configuration, tube material and chemical compatibility before installation. Operating limits depend on the complete assembly, including tube material, wall thickness, operating temperature, process media and installation conditions. For pressure-critical, vacuum-critical or temperature-critical applications, contact S4R to confirm suitability for the intended operating conditions.
