Legend Valve 104-611 Bronze Gate Valve 4 in Soldered

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 104-611 is a 4-inch bronze gate valve designed for full-flow shutoff in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. The non-rising stem design keeps the stem inside the valve body during operation, making it well suited for installations where vertical clearance above the valve is limited. A screw-in bonnet provides a secure, pressure-retaining seal and allows for straightforward repacking or service access. The solid wedge disc delivers positive shutoff with firm seating against the valve body, which is a reliable choice for isolation service on liquid lines handled by licensed plumbers and pipefitters.

This gate valve is used in residential and commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, and industrial piping where a 4-inch soldered end connection is required. The soldered end connection suits copper pipe installations and is consistent with standard sweat-joint assembly practices. At 18 pounds, the valve is sized for main line isolation and trunk line applications where frequent operation is not required. Gate valves of this configuration are typically installed by licensed plumbers in low-cycle, fully open or fully closed service.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem keeps vertical profile compact during valve operation
• Screw-in bonnet allows field repacking without removing the valve from the line
• Solid wedge disc provides positive, leak-resistant shutoff
• Bronze body offers corrosion resistance suitable for potable water and hydronic applications
• Soldered end connection integrates directly with standard copper piping systems
• 4-inch pipe size handles high-volume flow on main and trunk lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 4-inch copper pipe systems using soldered end connections in plumbing and hydronic piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and drain the system, then relieve all pressure before cutting into an existing line or making soldered connections. Use standard sweat-soldering techniques and lead-free solder as required by code for potable water systems. Ensure the valve is in the fully open or fully closed position and not used for throttling service, as gate valves are not rated for flow regulation.
