Legend Valve 101-441 Diverter Ball Valve 1/4 in Fnpt

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 101-441 is a three-way diverter ball valve designed to redirect or split flow in residential and commercial water piping systems. Built with a brass body and a large-port design, it delivers low-pressure drop across the valve seat. The lever handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation, making it practical for tight service schedules. All seals are made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which holds up well against water, mild chemicals, and the temperature ranges common in plumbing service. Connections are female NPT on all three ports at 1/4 inch, allowing direct thread-in installation without adapters in most applications.

This valve is suited for light-commercial and residential water systems where a single supply line must be diverted to one of two downstream circuits, or where two sources need to be selected. Typical install scenarios include hydronic branch control, water treatment bypass loops, and small-equipment isolation setups. The compact body dimensions make it a practical fit in panel enclosures, equipment rooms, and utility spaces where clearance is limited. It is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified HVAC technicians working on hydronic or potable water systems.

Key Features

• Three-port FNPT x FNPT x FNPT configuration for inline diversion or flow selection
• Large-port design minimizes flow restriction through the valve
• Brass body provides corrosion resistance in water service applications
• PTFE seals resist chemical degradation and maintain a positive shutoff
• Lever handle allows fast quarter-turn actuation without tools
• Carbon steel handle is durable for repeated manual operation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation diverter valve for residential and commercial water systems requiring 1/4 inch FNPT three-way ball valve service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before threading in the valve. Apply thread sealant tape to male NPT fittings before making up connections, and avoid over-tightening, which can crack brass valve bodies. Confirm handle orientation relative to flow direction before returning the system to service.
