The Model 7706 Reducing Coupling allows direct reduction on a piping run and eliminates the need for a concentric reducer and couplings. The specially designed rubber gasket prevents the smaller pipe from telescoping into the larger pipe during vertical installation. All 7706 couplings are comprised of two identical housing segments, EPDM rubber gasket and plated track bolts and nuts. Housing segments are supplied with our standard painted finishes, i.e. orange or RAL3000 red. Optional finishes such as hot dipped zinc galvanized and custom epoxy coatings are available.
