Description
Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407130 1″ x 0.5″ SKT x FPT 90-Degree Reducing Elbow
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407130 1″ x 0.5″ SKT x FPT 90-Degree Reducing Elbow is a premium PVC plumbing fitting engineered to provide a precise 90-degree directional change while simultaneously reducing pipe size. Designed with a 1-inch slip (SKT) connection on one end and a 0.5-inch female pipe thread (FPT) on the other, this reducing elbow offers versatile installation options, making it ideal for systems that require a transition between different pipe diameters. Its durable construction and efficient flow design make it a trusted solution for pool plumbing, irrigation systems, water features, and other fluid-handling applications.
Constructed from high-quality Schedule 40 PVC, the 407130 reducing elbow provides superior durability and resistance to corrosion, chemicals, moisture, and UV exposure. Unlike metal fittings, which can corrode, rust, or degrade over time, this PVC fitting maintains structural integrity and leak-free performance throughout its lifespan. Its robust construction ensures reliable operation under varying pressure conditions, making it suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial plumbing projects.
The elbow’s design allows for a smooth reduction from 1-inch to 0.5-inch pipe, enabling efficient transitions in systems where pressure control, flow adjustment, or pipe downsizing is required. The 1-inch SKT slip end allows for a solvent-weld connection with standard 1-inch PVC pipe, forming a permanent, watertight joint when installed with PVC primer and cement. The 0.5-inch FPT threaded end provides a secure connection to male threaded pipes, valves, or fittings, offering flexibility for mixed connection systems.
The 90-degree configuration ensures smooth directional changes in tight spaces while maintaining optimal flow efficiency. Its internal radius and reducing design minimize turbulence and pressure loss, supporting consistent hydraulic performance in irrigation mains, pool returns, circulation lines, and other plumbing systems. This reduces strain on pumps and valves and promotes reliable long-term operation.
Despite its durable construction, the 407130 reducing elbow is lightweight and easy to handle, simplifying installation in both professional and DIY projects. Its compact design allows for easy placement in confined areas, while the clean white PVC finish provides a professional appearance and enables quick visual inspection of joints during installation and maintenance.
The Westlake 407130 1″ x 0.5″ SKT x FPT 90-Degree Reducing Elbow meets industry standards for Schedule 40 pressure-rated PVC components, ensuring compatibility with other PVC pipes and fittings commonly used in plumbing, pool, spa, and irrigation systems. Whether used in new installations, retrofits, or repair projects, this reducing elbow provides reliable performance, efficient flow management, and long-lasting durability.
