This reducing adapter is a stainless steel 304 pipe fitting with male National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on one end and female NPT threads on the other end for connecting two pipes of different sizes. The adapter has NPT threads for creating a tighter seal than straight threads and a hexagonal shape for increased leverage and use with a wrench during installation and disassembly. It is made from stainless steel 304 for resistance to chloride corrosion and greater corrosion resistance than stainless steel 302.
