Legend Valve 101-209 Full Port Ball Valve 2.5 in Soldered

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 101-209 is a standard manual full port ball valve designed for 2.5-inch pipe in plumbing and hydronic systems. The full port design maintains maximum flow with minimal pressure drop, making it well suited for isolation and shutoff applications where flow efficiency matters. The brass body and brass trim deliver corrosion resistance in potable water, heating, and general-purpose piping systems. End connections are soldered on both sides. A lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation and clear visual confirmation of valve position. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating distribution, and mechanical room piping where a reliable manual shutoff is required at a 2.5-inch line size. The soldered end connections make it appropriate for copper pipe systems. The full port bore reduces turbulence and supports accurate flow measurement downstream when used with meters or flow sensors.

Key Features

• Full port design minimizes flow restriction and pressure drop
• Brass body and brass trim for corrosion resistance in water service
• Soldered x soldered end connections for copper pipe systems
• Lever handle provides quarter-turn operation with open/closed indication
• PTFE seat material for low-torque operation and reliable sealing
• 2.5-inch pipe size for larger-diameter distribution lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 2.5-inch copper pipe systems using soldered end connections in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the line fully before soldering. Allow the valve to cool completely after soldering before returning the system to pressure, as PTFE seats can be damaged by excessive heat. Ensure the lever handle has adequate clearance for full quarter-turn operation before finalizing the installation.
