Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402250 2″ x 2″ x 1.25″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402250 Reducing Tee is a premium PVC plumbing fitting designed to provide a reliable and versatile three-way connection in 2-inch piping systems, while reducing one outlet to 1.25 inches. Featuring two 2-inch socket (SKT) connections and one 1.25-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this reducing tee allows installers to integrate smaller threaded components—such as valves, gauges, adapters, or branch lines—into standard slip-type PVC pipelines. Its durable design makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications, including residential and commercial irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, drip irrigation, chemical injection lines, and general water distribution networks, ensuring both efficiency and professional-grade performance.

Constructed from high-quality Schedule 40 PVC, the 402250 Reducing Tee provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and environmental wear. Unlike metal fittings, which can rust or deteriorate over time, PVC maintains its structural integrity even when exposed to chlorinated water, UV light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. This reliable material resists cracking, warping, and deformation, making the fitting ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations and providing long-lasting performance in demanding fluid-handling systems.

The tee’s socket (SKT) ends are engineered for solvent-weld installation with standard 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. Using PVC primer and cement, the pipe is permanently bonded to the fitting, creating a strong, watertight connection that becomes an integral part of the system. The 1.25-inch FPT outlet provides a threaded connection for male-threaded components such as valves, adapters, or smaller branch lines. Combined with Teflon tape or an appropriate thread sealant, this threaded outlet ensures a secure, leak-resistant joint, simplifying integration of auxiliary components without the need for additional fittings.

One of the primary advantages of the 402250 Reducing Tee is its ability to combine slip and threaded connections with a reduced outlet in a single fitting. The two socket ends manage the mainline flow, while the smaller threaded outlet provides a point for auxiliary components or mechanical connections. This dual functionality reduces the need for multiple fittings, streamlines system layouts, and minimizes installation time.

Internally, the 402250 Reducing Tee is designed to promote smooth fluid flow, minimizing turbulence and pressure loss. This ensures consistent system performance, particularly in applications where balanced hydraulic flow is critical. Its lightweight yet durable PVC construction allows for easy handling, precise alignment, and installation in tight or elevated spaces.
