Reducing Tee, Slip x Slip x FPT PVC Schedule 80 2" x 2" x 1-1/2" (802-251)
$22.82
The 802-251 is a 2" x 2" x 1-1/2" Schedule 80 PVC Reducing Tee with Slip x Slip x FPT connections. This fitting taps a branch off a 2" main pipe run while simultaneously reducing the branch outlet to a 1-1/2" female pipe thread — three functions consolidated into a single fitting body: branching, reducing, and transitioning from a cemented system to a threaded connection. The two inline run sockets are full 2" slip connections accepting solvent cement for a permanent, pressure-rated bond to the main pipe run on both sides, while the 1-1/2" FPT branch port threads directly onto any male-threaded fitting, valve, instrument, or equipment port downstream.
The mixed connection configuration — cemented run, threaded branch — is the defining practical advantage of this fitting. It is specifically suited for systems where the main distribution line is a solvent-welded PVC assembly and the branch serves a threaded connection point: a ball valve with MPT ends, a pressure gauge or sensor port, a chemical injection point, a pump or equipment inlet, or any other downstream component that connects via male pipe thread. The FPT branch eliminates the need for a separate slip-to-threaded adapter downstream of a standard slip tee, reducing fitting count and assembly length at the branch point.
The branch reduction from 2" to 1-1/2" reflects a common design pattern in commercial and industrial distribution systems: the main supply line runs full-size throughout, while individual branch connections step down to the smaller diameter required by the downstream equipment, valve, or sub-circuit they serve. Concentrating the branch, the reduction, and the thread transition in a single fitting rather than a tee plus bushing plus adapter assembly produces a cleaner, more compact result with fewer joints and fewer potential leak points.
Thread sealant tape (PTFE) or pipe dope rated for PVC service should be applied to all male threads before assembly on the FPT branch port. The run sockets should be primed and cemented per standard PVC solvent welding practice, with pipe held in alignment through the set period before the system is pressurized.

⚠️ Note: In a reducing fitting, the smallest port governs the pressure rating. Apply PTFE thread tape or PVC-compatible pipe dope to the male threads assembled into the FPT branch before installation. Do not over-tighten threaded connections into the FPT port — PVC female threads are susceptible to cracking under excessive torque. Consult manufacturer derating tables for elevated-temperature service.
Industries & Applications:
- Chemical Processing — Taps a threaded chemical injection point, sampling port, or instrument connection off a 2" cemented chemical distribution main, consolidating the branch, reduction, and thread transition in a single corrosion-resistant fitting body
- Water & Wastewater Treatment — Used on 2" treatment plant distribution headers where individual branch connections to threaded valves, meters, or dosing equipment require a simultaneous size reduction and transition to threaded connection at the branch point
- Industrial Process Piping — Branches a 1-1/2" MPT-ported valve, strainer, or instrument off a 2" cemented process line without the additional fitting count of a full-size tee plus a threaded reducer or adapter downstream
- Pump Station & Equipment Connections — Installed on 2" pump discharge or suction headers where a 1-1/2" threaded branch serves a pressure relief valve, gauge port, bypass line, or secondary equipment connection requiring a male-threaded inlet
- Irrigation & Agricultural Systems — Connects 1-1/2" threaded valve bodies and flow control devices off a 2" cemented PVC supply main on pressurized irrigation systems where the branch valve requires a threaded inlet and the main line continues at full size
- Commercial Mechanical Systems — Used in fluid handling and HVAC-adjacent piping systems where a 2" cemented PVC distribution main must branch to a 1-1/2" threaded control valve, sensor port, or equipment connection within a compact mechanical room or equipment pad assembly
