Description
Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402015 1.5″ SKT x SKT x FPT Tee
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 402015 Tee is a professional-grade PVC plumbing fitting designed to provide a secure, durable three-way connection in 1.5-inch piping systems while accommodating both slip (socket) and threaded connections. Featuring two 1.5-inch socket (SKT) connections and one 1.5-inch female pipe thread (FPT) outlet, this tee allows installers to seamlessly integrate threaded components such as valves, gauges, or adapters into standard slip-type PVC pipelines. Its versatile design makes it ideal for applications including residential and commercial irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, chemical injection lines, drip irrigation, and general water distribution networks, providing reliable, professional-grade performance.
Constructed from high-quality Schedule 40 PVC, the 402015 Tee delivers exceptional 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, or varying temperatures. Its robust material resists cracking, warping, and degradation, making the fitting suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, 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 joint that integrates seamlessly with the piping system. The 1.5-inch FPT outlet provides a threaded connection for male-threaded components, including valves, adapters, nipples, or flow meters. When combined with Teflon tape or an appropriate thread sealant, this threaded port ensures a secure, leak-resistant connection and allows for easy integration of auxiliary components without additional fittings.
A key advantage of the 402015 Tee is its ability to combine slip and threaded connections within a single component. The two socket ends handle the mainline flow, while the threaded outlet allows for the attachment of valves, gauges, or smaller branch lines. This dual functionality simplifies system layouts, reduces the need for additional fittings, and minimizes installation time. Whether used in irrigation manifolds, pool and spa return lines, chemical dosing systems, or retrofitting existing plumbing, this tee ensures efficient and reliable operation.
Internally, the tee’s smooth design promotes efficient fluid flow, reducing turbulence and pressure drop. This helps maintain consistent system performance, particularly in applications where balanced hydraulic flow is critical. Its lightweight yet sturdy construction allows for easy handling and alignment during installation, even in confined or elevated spaces, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofit projects.
