Copper Reducing Tee Dimensions

This copper reducing tee connects three pipes with a sweat connection. It features two 2-1/2 inch ends and one 3/4 inch branch. The fitting is made for residential and commercial plumbing systems. It carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemical exposure.

Plumbing Installations and Limitations

This tee suits installers joining copper supply lines of different diameters. It works for hot and cold water distribution in standard plumbing layouts. It does not suit projects needing threaded or press-fit connections instead of soldered joints. Builders requiring a straight coupling or a different branch size should select another fitting.

2-1/2 by 2-1/2 by 3/4 Inch Sizing

The critical specification is the reducing tee configuration of 2-1/2 inch run by 2-1/2 inch run by 3/4 inch branch. This exact sizing determines compatibility with the existing pipe network. Verify the required inner and outer diameters before purchase. The fitting meets standard copper sweat connection requirements.

Questions about this item

What copper pipe sizes must I already have to connect this 450-299 tee?

You need two runs of 2-1/2 inch ID (2-5/8 inch OD) copper pipe for the straight ports and one run of 3/4 inch ID (7/8 inch OD) copper pipe for the branch.

Can I sweat this Legend Valve tee onto existing 2-1/2 inch and 3/4 inch copper lines in my home?

Yes, the C x C x C ends are made for solder joints, so you can sweat it directly onto clean, fluxed copper pipe of the matching diameters.

How do I confirm the 450-299 reducing tee is sealed correctly after soldering?

Pressurise the system and check every joint for leaks; a dry, solid solder fillet all around each cup with no pinholes means the tee is working as intended.
