Bell Reducers

ANSI/AWWA C153/A21.531 and AMERICAN Standard

Reducers may be available with Flex-Ring or Lok-Ring bells and Flex-Ring or Lok-Ring ends. The dimensions shown here are representative of bell-configured reducers for Flex-Ring and Lok-Ring. As such, some variation may occur. Consult AMERICAN for exact dimensions (including laying lengths in some cases) and weights if these are critical.

Plain ends on available reducers may or may not be beveled/smoothed for push-on joint assembly. If push-on assembly is required, such ends may require field bevel/smoothing. Also see Plain End.
