Valve configuration
The Legend Valve 450-873P is a no-lead tee fitting with a 1" PRESS inlet, a 1/2" F1807 PEX branch, and a PRESS outlet. It suits plumbers and contractors assembling potable-water distribution systems that require a lead-free transition between press and PEX connections.
Connection method
The press-to-press-to-F1807 layout removes the need for separate adapters when joining press fittings to F1807 PEX tubing. This single fitting reduces potential leak points and cuts installation time on jobs that specify both connection types in one tee location.
Application limits
The fitting handles standard residential and light-commercial hot and cold water pressures within the rated range of the connected press and PEX systems. It is not intended for gas, fuel-oil, or high-temperature hydronic loops that exceed the pressure or temperature ratings of the tubing and press tools used.

Questions about this item
Will the 1" PRESS connection or the 1/2" F1807 PEX branch need periodic retightening or replacement?
The press connection is designed as a permanent joint and does not require retightening; the F1807 PEX end uses a crimp ring that also remains maintenance-free once installed.
What pressure or temperature limit will be reached first if this tee runs continuously in a hot-water loop?
The fitting is rated to the same pressure and temperature limits as the copper press system and PEX tubing it connects to, so the system design determines the first limit encountered.
Does the brass body generate noticeable heat or noise when water flows through it all day?
The brass tee itself produces no mechanical noise and only conducts the temperature of the water passing through it; any sound or heat comes from the pump and piping, not the fitting.
