Copper Reducing Tee for plumbing systems
This Legend Valve copper reducing tee connects three pipes with a 1-1/4 inch inlet, 1/2 inch branch, and 1-1/4 inch outlet. It is designed for residential and commercial water supply installations. The sweat connection style suits installers who prefer soldered joints for permanent, leak-resistant assemblies.
Sweat connection limits installer options
The C x C x C configuration requires copper tubing and soldering equipment for installation. It cannot be used with push-fit, compression or threaded adapters without additional fittings. The fixed branch diameter restricts flow capacity at the 1/2 inch outlet compared to the main run.
1-1/4 by 1/2 by 1-1/4 inch sizing decides fit
This single specification determines whether the tee matches the existing pipe diameters in the system. Mismatched dimensions will prevent proper soldering and cause leaks or flow restriction. Verify all three measurements against the piping plan before purchase.

Questions about this item
Which reducing tee size should I choose for a 1-1/4 inch main line with a 1/2 inch branch?
The 450-231 model is sized 1-1/4" x 1/2" x 1-1/4" ID and 1-3/8" x 5/8" x 1-3/8" OD for that exact configuration.
What does the C x C x C designation mean for installation?
It indicates copper sweat connections on all three ports, so each joint is soldered directly to copper tubing.
How does the Proposition 65 warning affect use in potable water systems?
The warning covers chemicals known to California to cause cancer or reproductive harm; consult local codes for potable water approval.
