Copper Reducing Tee

The Legend Valve 450-282 copper reducing tee joins three pipe sections in a T configuration. Two branches measure 2 inches inside diameter while the third reduces to 2-1/2 inches. Sweat connections on all ends create permanent joints for residential plumbing systems.

Sweat-Fit Construction

Each port uses a copper-to-copper solder joint that forms a leak-resistant seal when heated with flux and solder. The 2-1/8 inch outside diameter on the equal legs and 2-5/8 inch on the reducing leg match standard copper tubing dimensions. The transparent copper surface allows visual confirmation of solder flow during installation.

Reducing Branch Upgrade

This fitting replaces a straight tee when a smaller supply line must feed a larger distribution branch or fixture group. The step-down design eliminates separate reducer couplings and extra solder joints. The change is worthwhile when consolidating connections in tight joist bays or when local code favours fewer fittings in a continuous run.
