Legend Valve 450-236P 1-1/4 x 1 x 1/2 Press Reducing Tee

Press Reducing Tee for Copper Systems

The Legend Valve 450-236P is a 1-1/4 x 1 x 1/2 press reducing tee designed for potable-water and hydronic piping. It connects three copper tubes of different diameters in a single fitting without solder or flame. Professional installers and maintenance crews use it to create branch lines quickly on commercial and residential jobs.

Press Tool Compatibility and Space Savings

The fitting requires a compatible press tool and jaws matched to each tube size to form a permanent, leak-tight seal. No torch, flux or solder is needed, which eliminates fire-watch requirements and frees up space in tight mechanical rooms. The press connection also removes the need for cooling time before pressure testing the system.

Sustained Pressure and Temperature Performance

Once pressed, the joint maintains its integrity under continuous operating pressure and temperature cycles typical of hot-water recirculation loops. The stainless-steel press sleeve and EPDM sealing element resist creep and stress relaxation over long service periods. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
