Or back to back eccentric flanged, not that I'd choose that over grooved- more a matter of what someone may have on the shelf and wants to use up!

The largest eccentric reducer I can get is 4 x 2-1/2. Can I back-to-back reducers without causing problems? Could I used a 6x4 90 on the suction line and then elbow back to the pump (with at least the minimum distance reqd)? Any other thoughts? Todd G.
