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:
- One end Socket + other end Mechanical Joint (gland type)
- Both ends allow restrained jointing
- Available in various reduction ratios
- Made from high-strength Ductile Iron
Advantages:
- Provides a secure, leak-proof transition between two different pipe diameters
- Mechanical Joint end offers better restraint against pull-out forces
- Suitable for higher pressure applications
- Easier installation and dismantling compared to flanged reducers
Applications:
- Water transmission and distribution mains
- Reducing pipe size in long pipelines
- Areas requiring axial restraint (unstable soil, steep slopes, high pressure lines)
