Copper press reducing tee with three openings in satin finish

Legend Valve

Legend Valve 450-288P 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 Press Reducing Tee

SKU CH-KRMK-Q8WPH

Connects 2-1/2 inch and 1-1/4 inch press piping in a reducing tee configuration

  • Press reducing tee simplifies branch connections
  • 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 x 2-1/2 inch sizing fits large pipes
  • Legend Valve 450-288P model ensures compatibility
  • Press-fit design speeds installation without soldering
  • California Proposition 65 warning indicates chemical presence

Press Reducing Tee Application

This press reducing tee connects three pipe sections with a smaller 1-1/4 inch branch between two 2-1/2 inch runs. It is intended for installers who need a permanent, press-fit transition in residential or commercial plumbing systems.

Thermal Noise And Power Profile

The fitting is a passive copper alloy component that generates no heat, noise or electrical draw during normal operation. System pressure and fluid temperature are managed by the surrounding piping network rather than the tee itself.

Build Integration Requirements

The tee requires a compatible press tool and jaw set matched to the 2-1/2 inch and 1-1/4 inch diameters for installation. It frees up assembly time compared to threaded or soldered alternatives by eliminating the need for sealants or open flames on site.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Legend Valve 450-288P press reducing tee and what step causes leaks?

Use a calibrated press tool on each of the three ends; the most common error is pressing before the tubing is fully seated and square against the stop, which leaves an incomplete seal.

What maintenance or replacement will the 450-288P tee need over time?

Inspect the three press joints and the EPDM sealing elements annually for corrosion, mineral build-up or physical damage; replace the fitting if any seal shows degradation or if the body exhibits cracking.

What limit appears first on the 450-288P tee during sustained high-temperature operation?

The EPDM seals reach their maximum continuous temperature rating before the bronze body does, so prolonged exposure above that limit will degrade the seals first.
