Westlake Pipe & Fittings 1436213 1.5″ x 2″ MPT Reducing Male Adapter Hi-Max Fitting
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 1436213 1.5″ × 2″ MPT Reducing Male Adapter Hi-Max Fitting is a robust PVC transition fitting engineered for strength, reliability, and versatility in pressurized piping systems. Designed to connect a 1.5-inch solvent-weld pipe run to a 2-inch male threaded connection, this adapter provides a dependable solution for applications requiring size transition and connection flexibility. It is well suited for plumbing, irrigation, pool and spa, water treatment, and light industrial installations where performance and durability are critical.
Manufactured from Westlake’s premium Hi-Max PVC, this fitting is built to deliver enhanced pressure capability and superior structural integrity compared to standard PVC fittings. The reinforced wall design helps resist cracking, deformation, and stress caused by pressure fluctuations or mechanical loads. This makes the 1436213 adapter an excellent choice for use near pumps, filters, valves, and other equipment where dependable connections are essential.
The 1.5-inch slip (socket) end is designed for solvent-weld installation using standard PVC primer and cement. This creates a strong, permanent, and leak-resistant bond with compatible PVC pipe. On the opposite side, the 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) allows for secure threaded connection to larger valves, manifolds, or equipment ports. This configuration provides installers with the flexibility to integrate solvent-weld piping with threaded system components while maintaining overall system integrity.
Precision manufacturing ensures clean, accurately formed male threads that engage smoothly and consistently. When installed using appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape, the threaded connection forms a tight seal while minimizing the risk of leaks or cross-threading.
PVC construction offers several advantages over metal adapters, particularly in corrosive or moisture-prone environments. The Westlake 1436213 adapter is naturally resistant to rust, corrosion, and chemical degradation, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. It will not seize or deteriorate due to prolonged exposure to water or chemicals, helping extend system life and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
The reducing adapter’s compact profile supports clean, space-efficient installations, especially in mechanical rooms or equipment enclosures where layout efficiency is important. Its lightweight design makes handling and installation easier, reducing installer fatigue and improving productivity on the job site.
