Legend Valve 450-202 Copper Reducing Tee 1 x 1/2 x 1/2

Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems

The Legend Valve 450-202 is a copper reducing tee designed to join three pipe sections in residential or commercial plumbing installations. It features a 1" x 1/2" x 1/2" inside diameter configuration with C x C x C sweat connections for secure soldered joints. This fitting suits plumbers and contractors modifying existing copper water lines.

1-Inch Main with Two Half-Inch Branches

The tee provides a single 1-inch inlet and two 1/2-inch outlets, allowing flow distribution from a larger supply line to smaller fixture runs. It handles standard potable water pressure and temperature ranges for copper piping. The fitting is not suited for systems requiring larger branch diameters or press-fit connection methods.

Soldered Joint Reliability and Material Compliance

Once properly soldered, the copper construction creates a permanent, leak-free seal that withstands normal thermal cycling without loosening. The material contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm under Proposition 65. No mechanical fasteners or gaskets are required for installation.
