Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 302-254 is a cast brass baseboard tee designed for hydronic heating baseboard systems. It features a 1 inch sweat inlet, a 1/8 inch female NPT side outlet, and a 1 inch sweat outlet, allowing installers to tap a branch connection or install an air vent, gauge, or other threaded fitting directly into a baseboard loop line. Cast brass construction provides resistance to corrosion and the pressures typical of closed-loop hot water heating systems. Plumbers and hydronics technicians are the primary installers of this fitting.

This tee is used in residential and light commercial hydronic baseboard heating installations where a side-port connection is needed along a copper baseboard element run. The sweat ends connect directly to standard copper tubing using solder, while the 1/8 inch FNPT port accepts small-diameter threaded fittings such as air eliminators, pressure gauges, or bleed valves. It is a common fitting in forced hot water heating system rough-in and service work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified hydronics technician. Drain and depressurize the system and allow all components to cool completely before cutting into an existing line. Use standard soldering practices in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC when making sweat connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant to the 1/8 inch FNPT port before installing any threaded fitting.
