VICTAULIC® GROOVED REDUCERS FOR HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR PIPING

The Victaulic No. 50 Concentric Grooved Reducer is the ideal ductile iron fitting for reliably transitioning between different pipe sizes within high-pressure hydraulic elevator piping systems. Engineered for efficient installation, this reducer utilizes the proven mechanical grooved joining method, providing elevator contractors and maintenance teams a rapid flame-free installation alternative. When assembled with flexible Victaulic couplings and the mandatory Grade "T" Nitrile gasket, the reducer ensures a guaranteed, leak-proof seal against petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, which is essential for maximizing system lifespan and maintaining the quiet, smooth operation of elevator equipment globally.


Features


Ductile Iron Construction: Strong and durable for hydraulic elevator piping.

High-Pressure Rated: Designed for hydraulic elevator systems.

Flame-Free Installation: Quick and safe setup without welding.

Leak-Proof Seal Compatibility: Works with Grade "T" Nitrile gaskets.

Vibration Damping: Maintains system stability and reduces noise.

Cost-Effective Solution: Saves time and labor on installation.

Stocked Sizes for Elevator Pipe Systems


Our inventory is tailored to the most common reduction requirements of hydraulic elevator piping systems:

  • 2" x 1-1/2" Victaulic Grooved Reducer
  • 2-1/2" x 2" Victaulic Grooved Reducer

To achieve a complete, high-integrity, leak-free connection using these reducers in your hydraulic piping system:

  • Victaulic Style 77 Couplings: Essential for joining the reducer to the pipe (available separately in corresponding 2", 1-1/2", and 2-1/2" sizes).
  • Grade “T” Gaskets: The specialized petroleum-compatible gasket required for oil service (included with Style 77 couplings).
  • Victaulic Elbows & Tees: Available for full system installation and custom piping layouts.
  • Grooved Carbon Steel Pipe: Matching grooved-end pipe for a complete system connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • . What is the main purpose of the Grooved Reducer?

    The Victaulic Grooved Reducer is used to create a safe, seamless, and permanent size transition between two different pipe diameters within a hydraulic elevator piping system.

  • . Are these reducers safe for high-pressure oil lines?

    Yes, these fittings are cast from robust ductile iron and are specifically rated for the high-pressure service required by modern elevator hydraulic applications.

  • . What gasket should I use with this reducer?

    For all installations carrying petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, you must use the specialized Grade "T" Nitrile gasket to ensure a durable and leak-proof seal.

  • . Do grooved reducers reduce installation cost?

    Absolutely. Using the flame-free installation method dramatically reduces labor time and eliminates the high costs and safety concerns associated with welding pipe reduction on site.

  • . Are these reducers concentric or eccentric?

    The most common style for these systems is the No. 50 Concentric Reducer, which ensures a smooth, uniform change in diameter, ideal for vertical lines and systems where drainage is not critical.
