Legend Valve 460-224NL 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 1" PEX Reducing Tee
Connects 1-1/4" PEX lines to a 1" branch using no-lead DZR forged brass
- Lead-free brass construction ensures safer potable water connections
- Reducing tee design joins three PEX lines at different diameters
- DZR forged brass resists dezincification for longer service life
- California Proposition 65 notice informs installers of listed chemical content
- Model 460-224NL identifies the fitting for ordering and code compliance
Legend Valve 460-224NL PEX Reducing Tee
This brass fitting connects three PEX tubing runs at a tee junction with two 1-1/4 inch ports and one 1 inch port. It is built for potable water and hydronic heating systems where a lead-free, dezincification-resistant alloy is required. Plumbers and mechanical contractors use it to branch supply lines cleanly.
No Lead DZR forged brass construction
The no-lead dezincification-resistant forged brass body resists corrosion and meets low-lead mandates for drinking water. Normal operating pressure and temperature ranges for PEX systems apply without special thermal or noise considerations. The fitting adds negligible flow restriction and requires no power.
Reducing tee with 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 by 1 inch PEX ends
The three-barb configuration determines whether this part matches your pipe sizes; verify the two larger and one smaller port diameters against your layout before purchase. Installers needing uniform port sizes or different reduction ratios must select another fitting.

Questions about this item
How do you install the 1-1/4" PEX connections on the 460-224NL tee, and what step is most often missed?
Use a PEX crimp or clamp tool with the correct 1-1/4" rings; the step most often missed is verifying the ring sits fully against the shoulder before compressing.
What maintenance or replacement will the DZR forged brass tee need over time?
The no-lead DZR brass resists dezincification; inspect annually for mineral buildup or stress-corrosion cracks and replace the tee if any cracking appears.
What limit appears first on the 460-224NL tee under sustained hot-water use?
The brass body and PEX interface share the same pressure-temperature envelope, so the PEX tubing’s rated limit will be reached before the tee itself.
