Product Identity
This Legend Valve 462-221NL reducing tee connects three cold-expansion PEX lines sized 1-1/4", 1" and 1" using the F1960 standard. The no-lead forged brass body meets California Proposition 65 disclosure requirements for installers who need compliant fittings.
Upgrade Context
It replaces older leaded-brass or crimp-ring tees when a system moves to cold-expansion joints and no-lead material rules. The jump is worth it on new supply runs or remodel sections where F1960 tools are already in use and local code demands Proposition 65 listed components.
Interface Limits
The fitting works only with F1960 cold-expansion PEX tubing and matching expansion rings; it will not seal on crimp, clamp or push-fit systems. Installers without an F1960 expander tool cannot use this tee, and the reducing branch fixes the 1" outlet size so a different tee is required for other branch dimensions.
Highlights
- Reducing tee connects three pipe sizes
- No-lead forged brass meets safety standards
- Cold-expansion F1960 ends create secure joints

Questions about this item
What pipe sizes does the 1-1/4" x 1" x 1" reducing tee connect?
The 462-221NL tee joins one 1-1/4 inch PEX line to two 1 inch PEX lines using F1960 cold-expansion fittings.
Which expansion tool and ring standard must be used for the F1960 connections?
Use a cold-expansion tool calibrated for the F1960 standard with matching PEX rings; the common error is using crimp rings or a tool set for a different standard.
When should the no-lead forged brass tee be inspected or replaced?
Inspect for dezincification, cracking or leaks during routine system checks; replace if the brass shows white powdery deposits or any sign of stress corrosion.
