Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems
The Legend Valve 450-202 is a copper reducing tee designed to join three pipe sections in residential or commercial plumbing installations. It features a 1" x 1/2" x 1/2" inside diameter configuration with C x C x C sweat connections for secure soldered joints. This fitting suits plumbers and contractors modifying existing copper water lines.
1-Inch Main with Two Half-Inch Branches
The tee provides a single 1-inch inlet and two 1/2-inch outlets, allowing flow distribution from a larger supply line to smaller fixture runs. It handles standard potable water pressure and temperature ranges for copper piping. The fitting is not suited for systems requiring larger branch diameters or press-fit connection methods.
Soldered Joint Reliability and Material Compliance
Once properly soldered, the copper construction creates a permanent, leak-free seal that withstands normal thermal cycling without loosening. The material contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm under Proposition 65. No mechanical fasteners or gaskets are required for installation.

Questions about this item
Will the 1-inch run on this Legend Valve 450-202 reducing tee accept my existing half-inch copper supply lines?
The tee has a 1-inch inlet and two half-inch outlets, so your half-inch copper lines connect directly to the branch ports without adapters.
How can I verify the soldered joints on the C x C x C tee are watertight after installation?
Pressurise the system and inspect each of the three copper sweat connections for drips; a dry joint confirms a proper seal.
Does the Legend Valve 450-202 package include flux or solder, or must I buy them separately?
The box contains only the copper reducing tee; flux, solder and any cleaning tools are sold separately.
