Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems
This Legend Valve copper reducing tee connects three pipes of different diameters in a single fitting. The sweat connection design suits residential and commercial water supply installations where a branch line reduces from a larger main. It is intended for plumbers and contractors joining copper tubing in potable water or hydronic heating circuits.
Sweat Joint Construction and Flow Layout
The fitting features a 2-1/2" x 2" x 1" inside diameter configuration with corresponding outside diameters of 2-5/8" x 2-1/8" x 1-1/8". All three ports are female copper-to-copper sweat ends, allowing direct brazing or soldering without adapters. The reducing branch enables a smooth transition to a smaller distribution line while maintaining structural integrity at the joint.
California Proposition 65 Compliance Notice
The product carries a Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. No additional accessories, flux, solder or installation tools are included in the package. Installers must supply compatible brazing materials and follow local plumbing codes for pressure testing and system certification.

Questions about this item
What does the C x C x C copper reducing tee interface mean for pipe connections?
The C x C x C marking indicates three copper sweat connections sized at 2-1/2", 2", and 1" inside diameter for soldered joints.
What are the exact outside dimensions needed to fit this tee into an existing copper system?
The outside diameters are 2-5/8", 2-1/8", and 1-1/8" for the three ports respectively.
How is this copper tee installed and what common step causes leaks?
Clean each pipe end and fitting socket, apply flux, assemble, then heat evenly with a torch until solder flows into the joint; insufficient cleaning or uneven heating causes leaks.
