German term or phrase: Reduzierung

"Anschlussset, bestehend aus 1 Kaltwasserschlauch 1500 mm, 3/4”; 1 ***Reduzierung*** 1 1/4” auf 1”, 1 Röhrengeruchsverschl. mit Abgang"

From a catering equipment catalogue. This is part of a list of special accessories for a Bain Marie. Now "Reduzierung" normally means "reduction", but that is clearly wrong in this context. So what DOES it mean? Reducer, maybe? TIA for any light you can shed on this strange usage.

Yet another dodgy translation from you with no backup. You're just points-hunting, aren't you? Suggesting pretty much any old thing, without thought for context, in the hope that it might be right. Well, kindly go and hunt elsewhere, because I have no time for your nonsensical answers.
