Legend Valve 450-213 Copper Reducing Tee 1 x 1 x 5/8

Copper reducing tee for plumbing systems

The Legend Valve 450-213 copper reducing tee connects three pipes with 1" x 1" x 5/8" inside diameters and 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" x 3/4" outside diameters. It is designed for residential or commercial water-supply installations that require a branch line from a main run. The C x C x C sweat connections suit installers who work with copper tubing and standard soldering methods. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains listed chemicals.

Fits into copper pipe networks with sweat joints

The fitting joins directly to copper pipe of matching diameters without adapters, freeing the installer from extra couplings or transition pieces. Each end accepts a pipe that slides into the socket for a capillary solder joint, so the assembly stays compact inside walls or ceilings. No threading, press tools or mechanical crimp rings are required. The transparent finish lets the installer verify solder flow visually during the jointing process.

Holds pressure under continuous service conditions

Once soldered, the copper tee withstands the sustained pressure and temperature cycles found in potable-water distribution systems. The solid copper construction resists corrosion from treated water and does not degrade when exposed to typical household hot-water temperatures. The reduced outlet maintains flow to the branch while the straight-through run handles the primary volume. Long-term reliability depends on proper joint preparation and solder technique rather than on the fitting itself.
