Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402131 1″ x 1″ x 0.75″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402131 Reducing Tee is a professional-grade PVC plumbing fitting engineered to provide a reliable three-way connection in 1-inch piping systems, while reducing one outlet to ¾ inch. Featuring two 1-inch socket (SKT) connections and one ¾-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this reducing tee allows installers to seamlessly integrate smaller threaded components, such as valves, gauges, or adapters, into standard slip-type PVC pipelines. Its versatile design makes it ideal for applications including residential and commercial irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, drip irrigation, chemical injection lines, and general water distribution networks, providing both efficiency and professional-grade reliability.

Constructed from premium Schedule 40 PVC, the 402131 Reducing Tee provides outstanding resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and environmental wear. Unlike metal fittings that can rust or scale over time, PVC maintains its structural integrity even under continuous exposure to chlorinated water, UV light, moisture, and fluctuating temperatures. This durable construction resists cracking, warping, and deterioration, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding fluid-handling systems.

The tee’s socket (SKT) ends are designed for solvent-weld installation with standard 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Using PVC primer and cement, the pipe is permanently bonded to the fitting, creating a strong, watertight joint that integrates seamlessly into the piping system. The ¾-inch FPT outlet provides a threaded connection for male-threaded components, including valves, adapters, nipples, or small branch lines. When combined with Teflon tape or a compatible thread sealant, the threaded port ensures a secure, leak-resistant joint, simplifying system design and installation without requiring additional adapters.

A key advantage of the 402131 Reducing Tee is its ability to combine slip and threaded connections with a reduced outlet, all in one fitting. The two socket ends serve as the mainline, while the smaller threaded outlet allows for auxiliary branches or mechanical components. This design reduces the need for multiple fittings, minimizes installation time, and ensures consistent, balanced flow throughout the system. It is especially beneficial for irrigation manifolds, pool or spa plumbing, chemical dosing lines, and retrofitting existing systems with smaller threaded components.

In summary, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402131 1″ x 1″ x ¾” SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee combines professional-grade durability, versatility, and reliability. Its corrosion-resistant PVC body, secure solvent-weld socket connections, and threaded reduced outlet provide a dependable solution for a wide range of fluid distribution systems.
