Legend Valve 104-509 Bronze Gate Valve 2-1/2 Inch Threaded

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 104-509 is a non-rising stem bronze gate valve designed for 2-1/2 inch threaded pipe connections. It features a solid wedge disc and a screw-in bonnet, making it a reliable full-bore shutoff valve suited for water distribution, heating, and general plumbing systems. The non-rising stem design keeps the actuating stem contained within the valve body, making it well-suited for installations with limited overhead clearance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in both new construction and retrofit applications where a durable bronze shutoff is required at larger pipe diameters.

This gate valve is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a 2-1/2 inch threaded connection is required. Typical installations include main water service lines, mechanical room distribution headers, and hydronic heating supply and return lines. The threaded end connection is compatible with standard NPT pipe threading. The bronze body provides corrosion resistance in potable water and low-pressure hydronic applications. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were identified in the product data.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem design suits installations with limited vertical clearance above the valve
• Solid wedge disc provides positive shutoff and consistent seating performance
• Screw-in bonnet allows field access for packing service without removing the valve from the line
• Bronze body construction resists corrosion in water and hydronic service
• 2-1/2 inch threaded end connection matches standard NPT pipe sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 2-1/2 inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the upstream water or fluid supply before beginning work, and drain the line to prevent water release during fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before making up the connection. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as this can crack the bronze fitting or distort the seat.
