Copper Reducing Tee for Plumbing Systems
The Legend Valve 450-335 copper reducing tee connects three pipe sections in a T configuration. It features 4-inch by 4-inch by 1-1/4-inch inside diameter dimensions and 4-1/8-inch by 4-1/8-inch by 1-3/8-inch outside diameter dimensions. This fitting suits residential and commercial water supply installations.
Replaces Worn or Incorrect Copper Tees
Install this tee when an existing copper tee leaks, corrodes or no longer matches the required pipe diameters. The jump is worth it during a re-pipe, a remodel or a repair where the branch line must step down from a 4-inch main to a 1-1/4-inch branch. The C x C x C sweat connections provide a permanent joint.
Verify Pipe Sizes and Local Codes Before Ordering
Confirm that your main lines measure 4-inch inside diameter and the branch line measures 1-1/4-inch inside diameter so the solder cups fit correctly. Check that local plumbing codes permit copper sweat fittings for the intended application. Note the California Proposition 65 warning regarding chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
