Westlake Pipe & Fittings 401-338 Reducing Tee, 3″ Slip x 3″ Slip x 2″ Slip

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 401‑338 Reducing Tee is a high‑performance PVC fitting engineered to create a secure, durable three‑way connection in irrigation, plumbing, pool and spa, and industrial fluid systems. Designed with two 3‑inch slip connections and one 2‑inch slip branch, this reducing tee allows you to seamlessly divert fluid from a larger mainline into a smaller line without compromising the strength or performance of your piping system. Whether you’re installing a new water distribution network or retrofitting an existing pipeline, this tee fitting delivers dependable, long‑lasting functionality you can count on.

Crafted from premium Schedule 40 PVC, the 401‑338 reducing tee offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, chemicals, sunlight, and moisture. Unlike metal fittings that are prone to rust, degradation, and mineral buildup, this PVC component maintains structural integrity over time, even when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions or treated water environments. Its robust design is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use across a variety of applications, including residential, commercial, and industrial systems.

The dual 3‑inch slip ends provide a straightforward means of connecting to standard 3‑inch PVC pipes. These connections are designed for solvent‑weld installation using standard PVC primer and cement, which creates a strong, permanent, and leak‑resistant bond. The 2‑inch slip branch allows easy bonding to 2‑inch PVC pipe, enabling you to create a professional‑grade reduction within the same seamless fitting. This design eliminates the need for multiple adapters, saving time, materials, and potential leak points in the system.

One of the key advantages of the Westlake 401‑338 Reducing Tee is its ability to maintain efficient flow characteristics while transitioning between pipe sizes. The smooth internal contours of the tee reduce turbulence, minimize pressure loss, and support consistent water delivery throughout the system. This is especially important in high‑demand applications such as irrigation networks, pool return and suction lines, or fluid transfer systems in industrial environments. Its design helps preserve flow rates and system performance, even when distributing to smaller branch lines.

Installation is quick and efficient, making this fitting suitable for both professional plumbers and experienced DIYers. After solvent‑welding the slip ends to the corresponding PVC pipes, the joint sets quickly and provides a robust, leak‑proof connection. The lightweight PVC construction simplifies handling and placement, particularly in tight spaces or overhead installations where heavier fittings can be difficult to manage.
