Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing
This Legend Valve copper reducing tee connects three pipes with a 1-1/2 by 3/4 by 1-1/2 inch inside diameter. It suits residential and light commercial water supply installations that require a branch line reduction. The C x C x C sweat connections accept standard copper tubing for permanent joints. Buyers who need a different reduction ratio or a threaded connection cannot use this fitting.
Sweat Joint Installation
The fitting installs by cleaning the tube ends, applying flux, and sweating each joint with a propane or MAPP torch. Overheating can burn the flux and weaken the bond, while insufficient heat leaves voids that leak. Proper tube support prevents stress on the joints during thermal expansion. Installers without brazing experience should practice on scrap before working on a live system.
Long-Term Service Behaviour
Copper resists corrosion in typical potable water and handles continuous pressure cycles without fatigue. The material tolerates sustained hot water temperatures far above normal domestic use. Scale buildup in hard water areas may gradually reduce the internal diameter at the 3/4 inch branch. The fitting carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the Legend Valve 450-249 copper reducing tee is installed correctly?
After soldering, pressure-test the joint and inspect each connection for leaks; a dry, solid joint shows the fitting is working as intended.
What comes with the Legend Valve 450-249 tee and what must I buy separately?
The box contains the copper reducing tee only; you will need copper pipe, flux, solder and a torch to complete the installation.
Which size of the Legend Valve copper reducing tee should I choose for a 1-1/2 inch main line with a 3/4 inch branch?
Select the 450-249 model, which is sized 1-1/2 x 3/4 x 1-1/2 inches for that exact configuration.
