Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402251 2″ x 2″ x 1.5″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402251 Reducing Tee is a professional-grade PVC plumbing fitting engineered to provide a reliable three-way connection in 2-inch piping systems, while reducing one outlet to 1.5 inches. Featuring two 2-inch socket (SKT) connections and one 1.5-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this reducing tee allows installers to integrate threaded components such as valves, gauges, adapters, or branch lines 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, ensuring both efficiency and professional-grade performance.

Constructed from high-quality Schedule 40 PVC, the 402251 Reducing Tee provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical exposure, and environmental wear. Unlike metal fittings, which can rust, scale, or degrade over time, PVC maintains its structural integrity under prolonged exposure to chlorinated water, UV light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations. This durable material also resists cracking, warping, and deformation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations while providing long-lasting performance in demanding fluid-handling systems.

The tee’s socket (SKT) ends are designed 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 joint that integrates seamlessly into the pipeline. The 1.5-inch FPT outlet provides a threaded connection for male-threaded components such as valves, adapters, or branch lines. When combined with Teflon tape or an appropriate thread sealant, the threaded outlet ensures a secure, leak-resistant joint, simplifying the integration of auxiliary components without requiring additional fittings.

A key advantage of the 402251 Reducing Tee is its ability to combine slip and threaded connections with a reduced outlet, all in a single fitting. The two socket ends manage the mainline flow, while the larger threaded outlet allows for auxiliary branches or mechanical components. This dual functionality reduces the need for multiple fittings, streamlines system layouts, and minimizes installation time. The fitting is particularly useful for irrigation manifolds, pool and spa return lines, chemical dosing systems, and retrofitting existing pipelines with smaller threaded components.

In summary, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402251 2″ x 2″ x 1.5″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee delivers professional-grade durability, versatility, and reliability. Its corrosion-resistant PVC body, secure solvent-weld socket connections, and reduced threaded outlet offer a dependable solution for a wide range of fluid distribution systems.
