Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems

This Legend Valve 450-316 copper reducing tee connects three pipes of different diameters in a single junction. It suits residential and commercial plumbing installations where a 3-inch, 2-1/2-inch and 2-inch copper line must join. The C x C x C sweat ends are ready for soldering during new construction or repair work.

3 x 2-1/2 x 2 Inch Sweat Connection Sizes

The single specification that decides fit is the three nominal inside diameters: 3 inches, 2-1/2 inches and 2 inches. Corresponding outside diameters measure 3-1/8 inches, 2-5/8 inches and 2-1/8 inches. Match these dimensions exactly to the existing copper tubing before purchase.

Sustained Pressure and Temperature Performance

Copper construction maintains structural integrity under continuous water pressure and repeated thermal cycling from hot-water supply lines. The material resists corrosion and scaling over long service life, keeping joints leak-free without the degradation seen in some alternative materials under sustained load.

Questions about this item

How does the 3 x 2-1/2 x 2 sizing translate when the tee is installed in a copper plumbing system?

The tee provides a 3 inch inlet, a 2-1/2 inch outlet and a 2 inch branch, all measured by inside diameter, so it steps down flow between three copper pipes of those sizes.

What does the C x C x C designation mean for the connections on this reducing tee?

C x C x C indicates that all three ports are female sweat sockets, so each joint is made by soldering the outside of a copper pipe into the fitting.

What are the outside diameter measurements I need to clear when fitting this tee into an existing pipe run?

The outside diameters are 3-1/8 inches, 2-5/8 inches and 2-1/8 inches, which determine the space required for the soldered joints and insulation.
