Plumbing Fitting for Reducing Copper Lines
The Legend Valve 450-279 is a copper reducing tee designed to join three pipes of different diameters in a single junction. It suits residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 2 inch line must branch to 1-1/2 inch and 1-1/4 inch connections.
Sweat Joints Create Permanent Leak-Free Branches
Each end uses a C x C copper sweat fitting so the joint is soldered in place rather than threaded or pressed. The transparent copper finish lets the installer verify full solder penetration around every socket during assembly.
Lead-Free Alloy Meets Proposition 65 Disclosure
The fitting is manufactured from a copper alloy that complies with current lead-free plumbing standards. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the material contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item
What copper pipe sizes does the 2 x 1-1/2 x 1-1/4 reducing tee connect?
The tee joins three copper pipes: a 2 inch run, a 1-1/2 inch branch and a 1-1/4 inch branch, all with cup ends for soldering.
What clearance is needed for the 2-1/8 x 1-5/8 x 1-3/8 OD body?
The outside dimensions are 2-1/8 inches across the main run, 1-5/8 inches on the middle outlet and 1-3/8 inches on the smallest outlet, so allow that space in the stud bay.
How is the C x C x C tee installed and what step is often missed?
Clean each pipe end and fitting cup, apply flux, assemble the joint, then heat evenly with a torch until solder flows into all three cups; forgetting to flux every cup is the common error.
