Legend Valve 104-653 Bronze Gate Valve 1/2 Inch Threaded

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 104-653 is a 1/2 inch bronze gate valve designed for full-flow isolation in plumbing and piping systems. Built with a non-rising stem configuration, this valve keeps the stem contained within the bonnet during operation, making it well suited for installations where vertical clearance is limited. The solid wedge disc provides a tight shutoff against both forward and reverse pressure. A screw-over bonnet secures the internal components and allows field servicing without removing the valve from the line. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve in residential and light commercial water distribution systems.

This gate valve is threaded for standard pipe connections, making it compatible with typical threaded piping installations in water supply, hydronic heating, and general plumbing applications. The 1/2 inch pipe size fits common branch lines and fixture supply runs. Bronze construction resists corrosion in potable water and low-pressure steam service. This valve is appropriate for both new construction rough-in and retrofit service work where a durable, serviceable gate valve is required.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem design conserves vertical clearance in tight installations
• Solid wedge disc delivers positive shutoff in both flow directions
• Screw-over bonnet allows field servicing and repacking without line removal
• Bronze body provides corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic service
• Threaded end connections suit standard 1/2 inch pipe installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or servicing this valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections and avoid over-tightening, which can crack bronze fittings. Gate valves are intended for full-open or full-closed service and should not be used for throttling flow.
