Legend Valve MB14470 Press Tee 1-1/2 X 1-1/2 X 1/2 in

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE MB14470 is a press-connection tee fitting used to branch a run of piping into two directions without soldering or open flame. The fitting measures 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/2 inches across its three ports and connects using a press tool, creating a watertight, mechanically secure joint. At 2.4 pounds, the MB14470 is a solid-construction fitting suited for potable water, hydronic heating, and cooling distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of press-type fittings in both new construction and retrofit applications.

This press tee is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic piping systems. The 1-1/2-inch run ports accommodate mainline distribution piping, while the 1/2-inch branch port serves fixture drops or secondary circuit takeoffs. Press fittings are commonly used in confined spaces or occupied buildings where open-flame soldering is restricted, making this fitting a practical choice for retrofit and tenant-occupied work.

Key Features

• Press-connect design eliminates open-flame soldering for faster, safer installation
• 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 1/2 inch port configuration for mainline run with reduced branch takeoff
• Compact tee body at 2.4 pounds for easy handling in tight spaces
• Suitable for potable water and hydronic heating and cooling distribution
• Compatible with standard press tooling used in the trade

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press-connection tee replacement fitting for 1-1/2-inch mainline and 1/2-inch branch plumbing and hydronic piping systems that use press-style fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IAPMO standards. Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before pressing the fitting. Use the correct press jaw and ring size for the fitting diameter, and verify the press indicator window shows a complete seal after pressing. Do not reuse a pressed fitting once it has been removed from the pipe.
