Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402210 1.5″ x 1.5″ x 0.75″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402210 Reducing Tee is a professional-grade PVC plumbing fitting designed to provide a secure and durable three-way connection in 1.5-inch piping systems, while reducing one outlet to ¾ inch. Featuring two 1.5-inch socket (SKT) connections and one ¾-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this reducing tee allows installers to integrate smaller threaded components, such as valves, gauges, or adapters, into standard slip-type PVC pipelines. Its versatile design makes it ideal for a variety of applications, including residential and commercial irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, drip irrigation, chemical injection lines, and general water distribution networks, ensuring efficiency and professional-grade performance.

Constructed from premium Schedule 40 PVC, the 402210 Reducing Tee provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and environmental wear. Unlike metal fittings, which can rust, scale, or deteriorate over time, PVC maintains its structural integrity under prolonged exposure to chlorinated water, UV light, moisture, and fluctuating temperatures. This durable material also resists cracking, warping, and deformation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations while ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding fluid-handling systems.

The tee’s socket (SKT) ends are designed for solvent-weld installation with standard 1.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Using PVC primer and cement, the pipe is permanently bonded to the fitting, creating a strong, watertight connection that integrates seamlessly into the pipeline. The ¾-inch FPT outlet provides a threaded connection for male-threaded components such as valves, adapters, nipples, or smaller branch lines. When combined with Teflon tape or thread sealant, the threaded port ensures a secure, leak-resistant joint, allowing for easy integration of auxiliary components without additional fittings.

A major advantage of the 402210 Reducing Tee is its ability to combine slip and threaded connections with a reduced outlet, all in one component. The two socket ends manage the mainline flow, while the smaller threaded outlet accommodates auxiliary connections or mechanical components. This design reduces the need for multiple fittings, simplifies system layouts, and minimizes installation time. It is particularly useful for irrigation manifolds, pool or spa return lines, chemical dosing systems, and retrofitting existing pipelines with smaller threaded components.

Internally, the fitting is designed for smooth water flow, reducing turbulence and pressure drop. This ensures optimal system performance, particularly in applications where balanced hydraulic flow is essential. Its lightweight yet durable PVC construction allows for easy handling, precise alignment, and straightforward installation in tight or elevated spaces, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofit projects.
