DOUBLE SOCKET MECHANICAL JOINT TAPER

Kejriwal Castings manufactures Double Socket Mechanical Joint Tapers (also called Mechanical Joint Reducers) for changing pipe diameter in pipelines.

Key Features:

  1. One end Socket + other end Mechanical Joint (gland type)
  2. Both ends allow restrained jointing
  3. Available in various reduction ratios
  4. Made from high-strength Ductile Iron

Advantages:

  1. Provides a secure, leak-proof transition between two different pipe diameters
  2. Mechanical Joint end offers better restraint against pull-out forces
  3. Suitable for higher pressure applications
  4. Easier installation and dismantling compared to flanged reducers

Applications:

  1. Water transmission and distribution mains
  2. Reducing pipe size in long pipelines
  3. Areas requiring axial restraint (unstable soil, steep slopes, high pressure lines)
