Dura-Tech manufactures fiberglass FRP pipe reducers for industrial piping systems that require a reliable one-step pipe reduction fitting. Our complete line includes both concentric and eccentric pipe reducers designed for compatibility with flanged PVC, carbon steel, and stainless steel pipe and fittings.
Fiberglass pipe reducers are a practical alternative to steel components in many industrial applications. Dura-Tech FRP pipe reducers are nearly one-quarter the weight of comparable steel reducers, helping reduce shipping, handling, and installation costs. They are also rust-proof, easy to install, and made from heavy-duty fiberglass construction.
Each Dura-Tech pipe reducer is built with a standard 150 lb. bolting pattern and is designed to meet or exceed PS 15-69 and ASTM specifications. Standard reducer series are available, and custom pipe reducers can also be fabricated for projects that require special lengths, angled flanges, additional outlets, custom mounting brackets, or other project-specific details.
The smooth, contoured interior surface of a fiberglass reducer can also help improve flow compared to stepped reductions made from multiple fittings and bushings. By reducing abrupt transitions, material buildup and flow losses can be minimized, which is especially important in higher-velocity systems and applications where clean internal surfaces matter.

Why fiberglass pipe reducers?
Fiberglass pipe reducers offer several advantages for industrial piping systems. They are lightweight, rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and easier to handle than many comparable steel components. This can make transportation and installation more efficient, especially for large-diameter fittings.
The smooth interior surface of an FRP reducer can also reduce the flow disruption that can occur with stepped reductions. In systems where fluid velocity increases through a reduction, a smoother transition can help limit flow losses and reduce areas where material buildup may occur.
For applications involving moisture, chemicals, wastewater, outdoor exposure, or corrosive environments, fiberglass can provide a durable long-term alternative to metal fittings that may rust or require more maintenance.
Custom FRP reducer fabrication
Dura-Tech can fabricate custom fiberglass pipe reducers for applications that do not fit a standard model. Custom options may include special lengths, angled flanges, mounting brackets, multiple outlets, threaded connections, or abrasion-resistant liners.
If your project requires a reducer that fits an existing pipe layout, connects to specific equipment, or solves a site-specific installation challenge, Dura-Tech can work with your team to review dimensions, flange requirements, pressure requirements, flow conditions, and accessory needs.
