Legend Valve 101-210 Full Port Ball Valve 3 Inch Sweat

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 101-210 is a standard manual full port ball valve designed for 3-inch pipe systems using soldered (sweat) end connections. The brass body and brass trim provide reliable corrosion resistance in potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing distribution lines. A lever handle allows fast quarter-turn shutoff, making it a practical choice for isolation service where flow restriction must be minimized. The PTFE seat reduces friction on the ball and supports a positive seal across repeated cycles. At 9.75 pounds, the valve is built to commercial-grade heft and is suitable for installation by licensed plumbers in both residential and light commercial systems.

This valve is suited for wet plumbing systems requiring full-bore isolation at 3-inch pipe diameters. Full port construction means the internal bore matches the pipe ID, eliminating the pressure drop associated with reduced port designs. Typical install scenarios include main shutoffs on hydronic heating loops, domestic cold and hot water distribution mains, and mechanical room isolation points. The soldered end connection is standard in copper pipe systems and requires a clean, properly fluxed fitting before torch brazing.

Key Features

• Full port design maintains full pipe bore for unrestricted flow
• Brass body and brass trim for durability in water service applications
• PTFE seat provides low-friction sealing and long cycle life
• Lever handle delivers quick quarter-turn open and close operation
• Soldered x soldered end connections for copper pipe systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation full port ball valve for 3-inch copper pipe systems using soldered end connections in plumbing and hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the IPC or local plumbing code. Shut off and drain the system completely before cutting into the line or applying heat. Use a properly fluxed, clean copper fitting surface and apply heat evenly when soldering to avoid damaging the PTFE seat — many installers remove the ball assembly or partially open the valve to protect internal components during soldering. Allow the joint to cool fully before pressurizing the system.
