Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems

This Legend Valve 450-222 copper reducing tee connects three pipe sections with a 1" x 1" x 1-1/2" inside diameter configuration. It is designed for residential or commercial water supply installations where a branch line reduces from a larger main. The C x C x C sweat connections suit standard copper piping.

Sweat Fitting Installation and Common Issues

The tee installs by cleaning each pipe end, applying flux and sweating the joints with a propane or MAPP torch. Leaks usually come from insufficient cleaning, too little flux or overheating that burns the flux away. The transparent colour lets you visually confirm solder flow around each joint before pressure testing.

Compatibility Checks Before Ordering

Verify that your existing pipe runs match the 1" and 1-1/2" inside diameters and that you have clearance for the 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" x 1-5/8" outside dimensions. Confirm local code accepts copper sweat fittings for the intended application and that you have a suitable torch and lead-free solder. Buyers needing push-fit or threaded connections cannot use this tee.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Legend Valve 450-222 copper tee is seated correctly after soldering?

After soldering, pressure-test the joint and check for leaks; a solid, continuous fillet around each socket shows the 1" x 1" x 1-1/2" reducing tee is properly joined.

What comes with the 450-222 fitting and what must I supply separately?

The box contains the copper reducing tee only; you must supply solder, flux, emery cloth and any pipe lengths needed for your C x C x C connections.

Which Legend Valve tee size matches a 1-1/2 inch branch with two 1 inch runs?

The 450-222 model is the 1" x 1" x 1-1/2" copper reducing tee (ID) with 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" x 1-5/8" OD for that exact configuration.
