Legend Valve 450-301P 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1-1/4 Press Red Tee

Press Reducing Tee 2-1/2 x 1-1/4

The Legend Valve 450-301P is a press-fit reducing tee designed for plumbing systems requiring a branch connection. It joins two 2-1/2 inch runs to a smaller 1-1/4 inch outlet using a press tool. The fitting arrives new and is intended for professional installation in water or hydronic applications.

Threaded to Press Transition

This fitting replaces a traditional threaded reducing tee where a press connection is preferred for speed and reliability. The jump is worth it when the installer has press tooling available and wants to eliminate threading time or potential leak paths at the branch. It suits retrofit jobs where the main run stays 2-1/2 inch but the take-off drops to 1-1/4 inch.

Branch Capacity and System Limits

The 1-1/4 inch branch comfortably handles moderate flow demands for fixture groups or zone valves fed from a larger main. It runs out when the branch demand approaches the hydraulic limit of the smaller diameter, creating excessive velocity or pressure drop. The press seal is permanent, so the fitting is not for temporary test setups or systems requiring frequent disassembly.
