Wikipedia
reducer
A fitting or adapter is used in pipe systems to connect straight sections of pipe or tube, adapt to different sizes or shapes, and for other purposes such as regulating (or measuring) fluid flow. These fittings are used in plumbing to manipulate the conveyance of water, gas, or liquid waste in domestic or commercial environments, within a system of pipes or tubes. Fittings (especially uncommon types) require money, time, materials, and tools to install and are an important part of piping and plumbing systems. Valves are technically fittings, but are usually discussed separately.

reducer
A reducer is a function or an operation that takes multiple inputs and combines them into a single output. In the context of programming, it is often used in functional programming and with data processing models to decrease the complexity of the data or to simplify its structure. It's also used in data stream processing and big data computations, where large datasets need to be combined or transformed into condensed results. Similarly, in the context of mechanical engineering, a reducer refers to a component of machines that reduces the speed or torque of power transmission.

The length of the reduction is usually equal to the average of the larger and smaller pipe diameters. There are two main types of reducer: concentric and eccentric reducers.
