Ricom vertical reducer PP DN60/80 with seal (model 366080)

Ricom vertical reducer PP DN60/80 with seal (model 366080) is a polypropylene reducer designed to connect vertical drainage pipes where a reduction from DN80 to DN60 is required. The unit features an integrated elastomeric seal to provide a leak-resistant joint for vertical installations in drainage and wastewater systems. Constructed from corrosion-resistant polypropylene, the reducer is suitable for domestic and light commercial plumbing where chemical and moisture exposure can occur.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance and long-term durability in contact with wastewater and common cleaning agents. The integrated seal simplifies installation by eliminating the need for separate gaskets and reduces the risk of leaks in vertical pipe transitions. The part is lightweight and dimensionally stable, facilitating handling and alignment during assembly, and it is compatible with standard DN60 and DN80 drainage pipe systems.

Suitable for

• Vertical drainage stacks in residential buildings
• Wastewater downpipes in light commercial fittings
• Repair or modification of existing DN80 systems requiring DN60 outlets
• Areas exposed to moisture and common chemical cleaners

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP) for corrosion and chemical resistance
• Connection orientation: vertical reducer from larger to smaller diameter
• Input diameter: DN80 compatible connection
• Output diameter: DN60 compatible connection
• Integrated elastomeric seal for leak-resistant joints
• Suitable for drainage and wastewater applications
• Lightweight and dimensionally stable construction

How to use

Prepare the pipe ends by ensuring they are clean, free of debris and cut squarely. Align the DN80 end of the reducer with the upstream vertical pipe and push into place until the integrated seal seats fully; similarly, insert the DN60 downstream pipe into the smaller end. Apply moderate axial pressure to engage the seal and verify alignment to avoid stress on connected pipes. After assembly, perform a visual inspection and a water test to confirm there are no leaks at the joint.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate pipe supports to prevent mechanical stress at the reducer and avoid solvent welding or adhesive on the integrated seal; follow local plumbing codes for vertical drainage installations. Avoid exposure to temperatures or chemicals outside polypropylene's recommended operating range to maintain seal integrity and material performance.
