Reducing Union for leak-tight instrument and hydraulic lines, available on MetalMitra in imperial and metric sizes, with mill-certified traceability on every lot.

Through MetalMitra you can source Reducing Union in stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, duplex, nickel alloy and other grades, across a broad range of sizes and pressure ratings.

A reducing union joins two tubes of different outside diameters.

Precision tube fittings are compression fittings that use front and back ferrules to grip the tube and form a leak-tight seal without welding, flaring or threading the tube. They are used on instrumentation, hydraulic, pneumatic, sampling and analyser lines.

  • Connectors — Male and female connectors, port connectors.
  • Unions — Straight, reducing and bulkhead unions.
