Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402291 2.5″ x 2.5″ x 1.5″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402291 Reducing Tee is a high-performance PVC plumbing fitting designed to provide a dependable three-way connection in 2.5-inch piping systems while reducing one outlet to 1.5 inches. Featuring two 2.5-inch socket (SKT) connections and one 1.5-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this reducing tee allows for seamless integration of smaller threaded components into larger slip-style PVC pipelines. Its versatile design makes it an excellent choice for pool and spa plumbing, irrigation systems, water features, chemical feed lines, and general water distribution applications, delivering professional-grade reliability and efficiency.

Manufactured from durable Schedule 40 PVC, the 402291 Reducing Tee offers outstanding resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental stress. Unlike metal fittings that can rust, scale, or degrade over time, PVC maintains its strength and structural integrity when exposed to moisture, chlorinated water, UV light, and varying temperatures. This makes the fitting suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations and ensures long-term performance in demanding residential and commercial systems.

The socket (SKT) ends are designed for solvent-weld installation with standard 2.5-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. When installed using PVC primer and cement, the result is a permanent, watertight bond that becomes an integral part of the piping system. The 1.5-inch FPT outlet allows for the connection of male-threaded components such as valves, adapters, gauges, or branch lines.

One of the key advantages of the 402291 Reducing Tee is its ability to combine slip and threaded connections with a reduced outlet size in a single fitting. This design simplifies plumbing layouts, reduces the total number of components needed, and minimizes potential leak points.

Internally, the fitting features a smooth, contoured design that promotes efficient fluid flow while minimizing turbulence and pressure loss. This helps maintain consistent system performance, particularly in applications where balanced flow is critical. The lightweight nature of PVC also makes the fitting easy to handle, align, and install—even in tight or elevated spaces—saving time during installation and maintenance.

In summary, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402291 2.5″ x 2.5″ x 1.5″ SKT x SKT x FPT Reducing Tee delivers a dependable, professional-grade solution for creating reduced threaded branch connections in PVC piping systems. With its corrosion-resistant construction, secure solvent-weld sockets, and versatile threaded outlet, this fitting is a reliable choice for a wide range of plumbing and fluid-handling applications.
