Legend Valve 465-226 Smart Click Plastic Coupling Pex Pe-rt

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 465-226 is a Smart Click plastic coupling designed for use in PEX and PE-RT tubing systems. This reducing coupling connects 1-inch tubing to 3/4-inch tubing without the need for crimping tools or clamp rings. The push-to-connect Smart Click mechanism allows for fast, tool-free assembly, making it a practical choice for plumbers and pipefitters working on residential or light commercial hydronic, potable water, or radiant heating installations. The plastic construction resists corrosion and keeps the fitting lightweight for overhead or confined-space work.

This coupling is compatible exclusively with PEX and PE-RT tubing — it is not rated for CPVC, copper, or PEX-AL-PEX systems. It is well suited for transition points in distribution manifold branch lines, under-slab radiant loops, and domestic water supply rough-in where a 1-inch main run reduces to a 3/4-inch branch. The reducing configuration is commonly used where a trunk-and-branch layout calls for downsizing at a tee or manifold outlet.

Key Features

• Smart Click push-to-connect design requires no crimp rings, cinch clamps, or specialty tools
• Reducing configuration: 1 inch inlet to 3/4 inch outlet
• Plastic construction offers corrosion resistance and reduced weight
• Rated for PEX and PE-RT tubing only — not for use with other pipe materials
• Compact form factor suitable for tight or confined installation spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use with PEX and PE-RT tubing only. Not compatible with CPVC, copper, or PEX-AL-PEX pipe types.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making any connections. Ensure tubing ends are cut cleanly and squarely with a deburring tool before inserting into the fitting to achieve a proper seal. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings listed by the manufacturer for this fitting and tubing combination.
