Legend Valve 352-249 Galvanized Malleable Iron Reducing Tee

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 352-249 is a malleable iron galvanized reducing tee designed for steel pipe assemblies in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems. This fitting connects three sections of threaded pipe in a tee configuration with a reducing outlet, allowing a branch takeoff at a smaller diameter than the run. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in dry, wet, or exposed service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas distribution, water supply, compressed air, and general-purpose pipe runs where a reliable, code-compliant threaded connection is required.

This tee is suited for residential and light commercial steel pipe installations. It is used wherever a branch connection with size reduction is needed in a threaded malleable iron pipe system. Typical applications include hot and cold water distribution, natural gas and propane supply lines, compressed air headers, and steam service within rated parameters. The reducing configuration allows a larger main run to transition to a smaller branch without an additional bushing or coupling, simplifying the fitting count at the connection point.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction for strength and impact resistance in threaded pipe systems
• Hot-dip galvanized finish for corrosion protection in wet or exposed environments
• Reducing tee configuration: 3/4 inch run x 3/4 inch run x 1-1/4 inch branch
• NPT threaded ends for standard compatibility with threaded steel pipe and fittings
• Suitable for gas, water, air, and steam service within applicable pressure and temperature ratings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using standard NPT connections in residential and commercial steel piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as appropriate to the service. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before cutting into or disassembling any threaded pipe assembly. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to the appropriate engagement depth without over-torquing malleable iron threads. Verify the completed assembly for leaks before returning the system to service.
