Legend Valve 104-656 Bronze Gate Valve 1-1/4 in Threaded

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 104-656 is a non-rising stem bronze gate valve designed for full-bore shutoff service in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. Built with a solid wedge disc and screw-over bonnet, this valve provides reliable, bubble-tight shutoff when fully closed. It connects via threaded ends to 1-1/4 inch pipe, making installation straightforward with standard pipe wrenches. The bronze body resists corrosion in both potable water and general-service applications. At 2.56 pounds, the valve is compact and easy to handle during rough-in or retrofit work. It is a standard choice for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems.

This gate valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating, and general-service water piping where a reliable inline shutoff is required. The threaded end connection accommodates standard NPT pipe, and the non-rising stem design is well suited for installations where vertical clearance above the valve is limited, such as in utility rooms, crawlspaces, or mechanical closets. The solid wedge disc seats firmly in both high- and low-pressure conditions common to building service piping.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem design conserves vertical clearance in tight mechanical spaces
• Solid wedge disc provides positive, low-leakage shutoff
• Screw-over bonnet allows for repacking without removing the valve from the line
• Bronze body construction for corrosion resistance in water service
• Threaded end connections for standard NPT pipe installation
• Fits 1-1/4 inch pipe size for common residential and light commercial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 1-1/4 inch threaded NPT piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before installing or replacing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns using a pipe wrench — do not overtighten bronze-body valves. Gate valves should be operated fully open or fully closed; throttling service accelerates disc and seat wear.
