Legend Valve 462-222NL Reducing Tee
This Legend Valve 462-222NL is a no-lead forged brass reducing tee built for cold-expansion PEX systems that follow the F1960 standard. It connects a 1/2-inch branch to two 1-1/4-inch runs in potable-water plumbing. RV owners and service technicians use it when adding a smaller fixture line to a larger main.
F1960 Cold-Expansion Upgrade
The tee replaces crimp or clamp-style fittings on 1-1/4-inch and 1-2-inch PEX tubing where a tool-free, expansion-only joint is preferred. The jump is worth it when the installer wants a single fitting that eliminates separate rings and works with the same expansion head used on the main line. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals in the brass alloy.
Installers Using F1960 Expansion Tools
This fitting suits plumbers and RV builders who already own F1960 expansion equipment and need a no-lead reducing tee for 1-1/4-inch by 1/2-inch transitions. It is not for systems that rely on crimp rings, clamp rings, or push-to-connect fittings, and it does not fit tubing sized to other standards.

Questions about this item
What pipe sizes does the 1-1/4x1-1/4x1/2 tee connect?
It joins two 1-1/4 inch Cold Expansion PEX runs with a 1/2 inch Cold Expansion PEX branch using the F1960 standard.
Which expansion tool and ring are required for the F1960 cold-expansion connections?
Use an F1960-compatible expansion tool and matching PEX rings; the step often missed is fully rotating the tool to achieve even expansion before inserting the fitting.
When should the no-lead forged brass tee be inspected or replaced?
Check for dezincification, cracking or leaks during annual system checks; replace if the brass shows white powdery deposits or any seepage at the expansion joints.
