Legend Valve 450-160P copper press tee

This new copper press tee carries the Legend Valve brand and is intended for plumbing installations that require a three‑inch branch connection. The press‑fit design eliminates the need for soldering, reducing installation time and avoiding open‑flame work on site.

Suited for installers using press‑tool systems

The fitting serves contractors who prefer press connections over traditional sweat joints. It is not appropriate for systems that require threaded, flanged or soldered joints, nor for applications that demand a different pipe diameter or material compatibility.

Handles standard copper press networks

The tee accommodates typical residential and commercial water‑distribution pressures within its design limits. It reaches its limit when system pressure exceeds the fitting’s rating or when the pipe schedule calls for a larger bore than the three‑inch branch provides.
