Copper Reducing Tee for plumbing systems

The Legend Valve 450-319 is a copper reducing tee designed for residential and commercial plumbing installations. It connects three pipe sections in a T configuration with two equal ends and one reduced branch. Professional plumbers and DIY installers use it to create branch lines from a main supply run.

Sweated joint requirement and Proposition 65 notice

This fitting uses C x C x C sweat connections, so it must be soldered to copper tubing with appropriate flux and solder. The joint quality depends on installer skill and clean pipe preparation. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains a chemical known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

3" x 3" x 1/2" nominal sizing determines fit

The tee measures three inches on the run ends and one-half inch on the branch, with corresponding outside diameters of three and one-eighth inches and five-eighths inch. Select this part only when the piping layout matches these exact nominal dimensions.

Questions about this item

What size reducing tee do I need for a 3 inch main with a half inch branch?

This fitting has a 3" x 3" x 1/2" inside diameter and a 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" x 5/8" outside diameter for copper sweat connections.

How does the reducing tee affect flow in a copper plumbing system?

The 3" run maintains main line capacity while the 1/2" branch provides a reduced outlet for smaller supply lines without restricting the primary flow.

What copper pipe standard does the C x C x C connection follow?

The C x C x C designation means all three ports are female sweat sockets sized for standard copper tubing, joining by soldering to create a permanent, leak-free joint.
