Press Reducing Coupling 3 x 2-1/2

The Legend Valve 450-555P is a press reducing coupling designed to join 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch piping in plumbing installations. It provides a secure, leak-resistant connection using press-tool technology without the need for threading or soldering. The fitting is supplied new and carries California Proposition 65 warnings for listed chemicals.

Installers Transitioning Pipe Sizes

This coupling suits plumbers and contractors who need to reduce a 3 inch line down to 2-1/2 inch in press-fit systems such as hydronic heating, potable water or compressed air lines. It is not intended for threaded, soldered or grooved pipe methods, nor for applications requiring a different size reduction or a full-port coupling.

Large-Diameter Press Connection

The fitting comfortably handles the pressure and flow demands of standard 3 inch to 2-1/2 inch press-system designs in commercial and residential plumbing. It runs out when the project calls for a different diameter step-down, a transition to non-press joining methods, or a fitting profile not compatible with the installed press tool jaws.

Questions about this item

What pipe sizes and press tool does the 450-555P reducing coupling require for installation?

The coupling joins 3 inch and 2-1/2 inch pipe ends and must be installed with a compatible large-size press tool and the correct jaw set for those diameters.

Will the 450-555P coupling connect directly to existing threaded copper or steel pipe without adapters?

No, it is a press-only fitting; to join it to threaded pipe you need a separate press-to-thread adapter on each side.

After pressing the 450-555P coupling, how can I verify the joint is secure?

Perform a standard pressure test on the system and visually confirm the press indicator ring on each end shows a complete, uniform crimp.
