16/20 – 12/16 Reducing Straight
16/20 to 12/16 reducing straight fitting for LPG gas installations. Used to reduce pipe size in a straight gas line safely and securely.
The 16/20 – 12/16 Reducing Straight is a professional PEX gas fitting designed for LPG gas installations where a straight-line reduction between two different PEX pipe sizes is required. This fitting allows installers to safely transition from a 16–20mm PEX gas pipe down to a 12–16mm PEX gas pipe while maintaining consistent gas flow and system integrity. Manufactured for durability and long-term performance, the reducing straight fitting is commonly used in residential and commercial gas reticulation systems. It is ideal for installations where a larger main supply line feeds smaller branch lines supplying individual gas appliances such as gas stoves, gas hobs, gas geysers, gas fireplaces, and heaters. PEX gas systems are widely preferred due to their resistance to corrosion, vibration, and scale build-up. The 1620 – 1216 Reducing Straight supports these advantages by offering excellent pressure handling and temperature resistance, making it suitable for demanding LPG environments. The straight-through design allows for neat pipe alignment and easy installation in confined spaces such as cupboards, wall cavities, ceiling voids, or service channels. When installed using the correct PEX press or crimp system, this fitting provides a secure, leak-free connection that meets professional safety and compliance standards. This fitting is suitable for: – Reducing LPG gas pipe size in a straight run – Gas stove and hob installations – Gas geyser and heater connections – Residential and commercial gas reticulation – Professional installer toolkits and spare parts Whether used in new installations, system modifications, or upgrades, the 1620 – 1216 Reducing Straight offers installers a reliable and compliant solution for pipe size transitions within PEX gas systems.
