Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407-251 Reducing Elbow Fitting, 2″ Socket x 1.5″ FPT

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407-251 Reducing Elbow Fitting, 2″ Socket x 1.5″ FPT, is a premium PVC fitting designed to provide a reliable and durable 90-degree directional change while connecting two different pipe sizes. Ideal for plumbing, irrigation, pool, and spa systems, this reducing elbow ensures leak-resistant performance and smooth water flow. Constructed from high-quality Schedule 40 PVC, it offers long-lasting durability for both residential and commercial applications.

This reducing elbow features a 2-inch socket (spigot) end and a 1.5-inch female pipe thread (FPT) end, providing seamless compatibility between larger slip PVC pipes and smaller threaded components. The socket end allows for a secure, bonded connection with standard 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe using PVC cement, while the threaded FPT end accommodates male-threaded fittings, valves, or pumps.

Manufactured from durable PVC, the 407-251 Reducing Elbow Fitting is resistant to corrosion, chemical exposure, and UV damage, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its robust construction withstands high water pressure and environmental stress, ensuring a reliable, long-lasting connection.

Installation is straightforward. The socket end slips securely onto the larger pipe, while the threaded FPT end is tightened onto the corresponding male component to create a leak-resistant connection. This design simplifies assembly, reduces potential leak points, and allows for future maintenance or adjustments.

The Westlake 407-251 Reducing Elbow Fitting is an essential component for any system that requires a 90-degree directional change with a reduction in pipe size. Its combination of durability, ease of installation, and versatility makes it ideal for connecting mismatched pipe sizes, adapting existing systems, or integrating valves and pumps into plumbing or irrigation networks.

By incorporating this reducing elbow into your system, you can maintain smooth water flow, ensure secure connections, and reduce the risk of leaks. Westlake’s commitment to quality guarantees that the 407-251 Reducing Elbow Fitting provides dependable performance, long-term reliability, and professional-grade results, making it a trusted choice for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts.
