Brass Reducing Sockets

Connecting different thread sizes often leads to sealing issues or alignment failures. Our Brass Reducing Sockets support inlet threads from 1/4″ to 2″ and outlet sizes down to 1/8″, matching BSP, NPT, BSPT, or Metric standards.

Inlet Thread Size

1/4″ – 2″ (NPT, BSPT, BSPP, Metric)

Outlet Thread Size

1/8″ – 1.5″ (Smaller than inlet; custom combinations supported)

Thread Type

Male (M) / Female (F) – NPT, BSPT, BSPP, Metric

Material Grade

C36000 (Free-Cutting Brass) / CW617N (EN Standard)

Pressure Rating

200 PSI – 800 PSI (13.8 – 55.2 bar) (size/wall-dependent)

Product Description

Incorrect wall thickness or thread depth can affect durability in pressure systems. We use C36000 and CW617N grades with wall ranges from 0.1″ to 0.35″, handling up to 800 PSI based on your design.

Temperature Range

-20°F to 450°F (-29°C to 232°C) (for non-corrosive fluids)

Overall Length

0.6″ – 3″ (scales with size reduction ratio)

Socket Type

Hex Socket / Square Socket / Flanged (custom designs available)

Internal Flow Diameter

0.18″ – 1.6″ (smooth taper or stepped reduction)

External Diameter

0.5″ – 2.5″ (varies with inlet/outlet sizes)

Thread Engagement Length

0.25″ – 1.25″ (taper-dependent; extended for high-pressure seals)

Finish/Coating

Natural Brass / Nickel Plated (ENP) / Chrome / PTFE-Coated (anti-galling)

Standards Compliance

ASTM B16, ASME B1.20.1, ISO 228, DIN, JIS, WRAS (water-approved)

Weight

0.05 lb – 2 lb (material/configuration-dependent)

Wall Thickness

0.1″ – 0.35″ (reinforced for high-pressure/vibration resistance)

Flow Coefficient (Cv)

1.2 – 20.0 (optimized for reduced flow with minimal pressure drop)

Technical Advantages

Thread mismatch can cause galling, poor engagement, or leaks in your assemblies. Our sockets provide thread engagement lengths from 0.25″ to 1.25″, with smooth or stepped internal transitions to maintain flow consistency. We support hex, square, and flanged sockets with customized wrench access based on your housing or space constraints. Coatings like Nickel, Chrome, or PTFE improve durability and prevent thread wear in repeated installations.

Industry Applications

Hydraulic Power Units

Adapts circuit outlets for compact manifold design with minimal pressure loss.

HVAC Refrigerant Lines

Links pipework with different thread sizes, maintaining leak-tight sealing under vibration.

Water Meter Assemblies

Connects varying thread ends for residential or commercial setups with corrosion resistance.

Gas Regulator Panels

Handles thread reduction where flow accuracy and sealing are critical under pressure.

Sprinkler System Fittings

Provides custom thread pairings for space-limited installations in fire suppression lines.

Laboratory Utility Outlets

Interfaces precision valves to supply lines with tight Cv control in corrosive environments.

Reducing Thread Sizes Without Fit Issues

Configuring multi-size connections shouldn’t limit your material or thread options. We support small to bulk runs with full thread customization, multiple finishes, and exact bore control for your assemblies.

Each unit is machined to drawing, keeping your seal points intact without adding external adaptors. Our reducing sockets simplify integration across pressure lines, metering systems, or tight utility panels.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

Can you adjust the wall thickness to match pressure or vibration needs in our system?

Yes, we support wall thickness ranging from 0.1 inch to 0.35 inch based on your working pressure and system stress. We factor in your media type, frequency of disassembly, and vibration levels. This helps avoid deformation or premature failure in dynamic applications.

We use a mix of BSPT and Metric threads. Can Frigate machine dual-thread combinations for the same socket?

We machine mixed thread combinations such as BSPT inlet with Metric outlet or vice versa based on your assembly plan. Our tooling supports full-profile cutting and verified gauge checks. This removes the need for separate adapters or on-site rework.

What finish options do you offer for sockets exposed to corrosive environments or high-cycling use?

We offer Nickel, Chrome, and PTFE coatings based on your media compatibility and installation cycles. These finishes prevent thread galling, reduce tightening torque, and support long-term exposure to moisture or reactive gases. You can select based on both look and performance.

Will Frigate support small batch runs if we need trial assemblies before mass production?

Yes, we handle small batches with the same machining accuracy and finish options as full production lots. You can test thread engagement, flow drop, and housing fit in your actual setup. Once approved, we scale up without changing specifications.

How do you manage bore diameter and thread depth for sockets used in regulated flow lines?

We support internal flow diameters from 0.18 inch to 1.6 inch with taper or step-down profiles. Thread depth and engagement length are adjusted between 0.25 inch to 1.25 inch for seal integrity. This ensures predictable Cv values and smooth line transitions without turbulence.
