Non-ProZ.com Jun 30, 2005:
qingo: of course i can choose, just wanted to know what may be absolutely correct in my context andi had seen that in ernst but wasn't sure whether reducktionen are exactly the same as �bergangsst�ck, Reduktionsst�ck or Reduzierst�ck! maybe we'd better see what my fellow native speakers think

Proposed translations

Selected

reducers / transition pieces / reducing adapters

So says Ernst for Übergangsstück, Reduktionsstück or Reduzierstück.

Or reducing fitting, reducing coupling, reducing pipe-joint or transition piece. Your choice.

Alright, so you just want one term. I would go for reducers as I\'ve seen it a few times being used in jobs, but you\'re right, let\'s see what our native English mechanics have to say ;-)
