Legend Valve 450-303 Copper Reducing Tee 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 2 bathware

Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems

The Legend Valve 450-303 fitting joins three copper pipes in a tee configuration with two 2-1/2 inch ends and one 2 inch end. It is intended for installers who need a sweat-solder connection that reduces the branch line diameter. The C x C x C layout accepts copper tubing on all three ports for residential or commercial water supply work.

Reduced Branch Simplifies Pipe Transitions

The reducing branch lets plumbers step down from a larger main to a smaller supply without adding a separate coupling and short pipe section. Fewer joints mean less soldering time and fewer potential leak points during pressure testing. The all-copper construction keeps the system metallurgically uniform for consistent thermal expansion.

Sweat Connection Requires Soldering Skill &&

Sweat fittings demand a clean tube end, flux, and a torch hot enough to draw solder into the capillary gap. Installers without soldering experience or those working where open flame is prohibited will need a different joining method such as press or push-fit. The fitting carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive harm.
