Reducers in rigid pipe.

[kjroller]

I have a 4 inch rigid pipe I would like to reduce to 2 inch rigid my wire allows for it that being said is there a limit on the amount of reducers I can use out of curiosity could I go from 4" to 3.5", 3.5 to 3", 3" to 2.5", and 2.5" to 2", total of 4 reducers is there a limit on how many you can use in the code? Or if its PVC or EMT theoretically could I use multiple reducers to reduce down? Any help is appreciated please and thank you!

I don't know of any limit. I believe that they make 4" to 2" threaded reducers so you would only need one. They might also make an enlarger to go from 2" to 4".

While not permitted by the code, I would be very tempted to use a plumbing reducing coupling.

I know they make them 4" to 2" however they are tight on money and I have those 4 reducers and figured I would just make it work. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't a limit on how many times I could reduce or how many I could use. Thank you

Don't cascade a bunch off fittings, use the right parts.

I needed the Ericksons because I started at the top.

6x6 J-Box?
PVC is stocked on shelves.

No way to mount the jbox sky is above it believe me if I could order parts myself and it was my company I would do it one reducer it looks nice they are all flush but just wanted to verify no code against it.

I would use a C fitting with the reducer on one side of it. With a sharp reduction if the snake gets caught or something it could be an issue.

To add, the pipes in my pic are also 4" and 2".

They are Crouse-Hinds RE-somethings. The insides are beveled and smooth.

I did have a 4 inch C I used and reduced down

A plumbing bell reducer would be ideal.
