2.5"-2" reducer

Postby twojaythomo » Tue Jul 08, 2014 12:10 am

Could anyone point me in the right direction to get a 2.5"-2" reducer, maybe in the QLD area or website, can't seem to find any.

Look up plumbing supplies in the yellow pages.Places plymbers buy their stuff.
Bunnings only supply domestic sizes.

You could check out Carrington copper online.They have mouthwatering catalogue but no prices.You have to ring them.Their prices are very good and they do mail order

Mix of stainless and copper looks good

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/63MM-to51MM- ... 3c1&_uhb=1

That's from China so the postage will take a while, you could also check with Mac and see if he has one kicking around.

Just be aware that eBay gear from china that states it's 316 may not be true ;-)

No 304 shouldn't rust but shit from china that states it's 304 has been known too, can also be magnetic 8-}

Buy it and find out :handgestures-thumbupleft: if it's shit all you have wasted is your time and money :teasing-tease:

OK

SS304, SS316, SS304L & SS316L are all fine as long as it's welded with the right filler & produced by a "reputable factory" , with the latter being hardest to find.

The cheapest shit you find is generally just that, cheap shit! and the variances in material quality appear.

2.5" sanitary fittings are available, I only stock clamps, ferrules seals in this size, but due to demand this sized components are by pre order only.

I get the whole trying to save money part, but if your order turns to shit who answers you ? Local might be a little slower, but you have me watching your back if your gear turns up not quite right ;-)

2c :smile:

After a brief read on the subject I probably would only buy tri clamps off ebay all internal stuff not worth waating money on when you could pay a bit more and only pay once. Thanks mate for the advice.

You'd be better off using copper reducers and easy flanges if you want it quick ;-)

Everyone loves photos, here are the bits I have so far + a keg the pipe is 2.5" going to a standard keg. So only really need 1 but could use some clamps too. Going to make the column and condenser modular.
