What is a Level Invert Reducer?
A level invert reducer (often called an eccentric reducer in plumbing) is a drainage fitting used to join pipes of two different diameters—in this case, 160mm and 110mm. Unlike a standard concentric reducer, the “level invert” design ensures that the bottom (the “invert”) of both pipes remains at the same height. This is a critical requirement for gravity-fed underground drainage systems to ensure there is no “step” that could catch debris or cause stagnant water.
Why “Level Invert” Matters for Drainage
In any professional underground sewer or surface water system, maintaining a constant gradient is vital. By using a 160mm x 110mm Level Invert Reducer, you prevent the creation of a “lip” at the joint. This allows solid waste and water to flow uninterrupted, significantly reducing the risk of blockages (siltation) and foul odors that occur when water settles in uneven pipe joins.
Built for Professional Underground Standards
Our reducer is finished in the industry-standard terracotta color and is manufactured to BS EN 1401-1 specifications. It is designed to be buried deep underground, offering excellent resistance to soil chemicals, high-impact loads, and the natural movements of the earth. The push-fit sockets come pre-fitted with high-quality EPDM rubber seals, ensuring a watertight joint that can be installed in minutes.
