Legend Valve MB14480 Press Tee 1-1/2x1-1/2x3/4 in

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE MB14480 is a press-connect tee fitting designed for joining copper or compatible tubing in plumbing and hydronic systems. The press connection method eliminates open flame during installation, making it a reliable choice for retrofits and new construction where torch work is restricted or not practical. This fitting measures 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 3/4 inches and weighs 2.92 pounds. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting.

The MB14480 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution, and potable water supply lines where press-fit connections are specified. The reducing branch outlet at 3/4 inches makes it useful for branching a smaller supply line off a 1-1/2-inch main run. This fitting is a standard choice in applications where a solderless, press-type joint is required by jobsite conditions or contractor preference.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. A calibrated press tool with the correct jaw size for each connection diameter is required to achieve a proper seal. Inspect the pipe ends for burrs or debris and ensure the press indicator window is visible and properly seated before pressing.
