Legend Valve 302-343nl Brass Sweat Fnpt Tee 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 302-343nl is a 1/2-inch no-lead cast brass tee fitting designed for copper tube sweat connections with a female NPT branch outlet. The body connects two sweat ends inline while the branch port accepts a threaded female NPT connection, making it a practical transition point in mixed-material piping runs. No-lead construction meets federal and state potable water standards, making this fitting appropriate for domestic water supply applications. Licensed plumbers typically specify and install this fitting in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

This tee is suited for potable water supply piping where a sweat-to-thread transition is needed at the branch. The sweat ends solder directly onto standard 1/2-inch copper tubing, while the FNPT port allows connection of threaded brass or steel fittings, valves, or instrumentation. It is a common fitting in residential water distribution, hydronic heating branch takeoffs, and utility connections where mixing sweat and threaded runs is necessary.

Key Features

• No-lead cast brass construction complies with federal Safe Drinking Water Act lead-free requirements for potable water systems
• 1/2-inch sweat inlets allow direct soldering onto standard copper tubing
• Female NPT branch port enables transition to threaded pipe or threaded valve bodies
• Cast brass body provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet, pressurized service
• Compact tee geometry fits standard rough-in and retrofit applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch copper sweat piping systems requiring a female NPT branch connection in residential or light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and fully drain the line before cutting and fitting. Clean all copper tube ends and fitting sockets with emery cloth and apply flux before soldering; use lead-free solder on all potable water connections. Allow the fitting to cool completely before restoring pressure and inspect all joints for leaks before closing the wall or enclosure.
