Reducers With a Branch Connection

These can be based upon either a concentric or eccentric body.

Due to the difficulty of drawing an unambiguous representation of this type of component, all information relevant to the Branch will be given in a message line as shown in the image below. The message 1"NS refers to the branch bore, while the 100 (mm) dimension is an overall one from the connection point of the reducer to the flange face.

The dimension along the body of the Reducer to the branch will not be indicated and the branch pipe will be drawn at the mid point of the reducer.

Note:
That, in the case of eccentric Reducers, the Branch may only be taken off the flat side or off the face directly opposite the flat side.
