Legend Valve 104-664 Bronze Gate Valve 3/4 Inch Soldered

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 104-664 is a 3/4-inch bronze gate valve with a non-rising stem design, intended for soldered (sweat) end connections. It features a solid wedge disc and a screw-over bonnet construction, providing a reliable shutoff in water distribution and plumbing systems. The non-rising stem keeps the actuating mechanism compact, making it well suited for installations with limited vertical clearance above the valve. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers. Weighing approximately 1.06 pounds, the valve is a standard single-piece unit.

This valve is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a full-bore, low-restriction shutoff is needed. Typical applications include main water supply lines, branch shutoffs, and fixture isolation. The soldered end connection integrates directly into copper pipe systems using standard sweat-fitting technique. The bronze body is compatible with potable water and hydronic heating applications where copper piping is standard.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem design minimizes vertical clearance requirements
• Solid wedge disc provides positive shutoff with low seat leakage
• Screw-over bonnet allows field access to internal components
• Soldered end connections for direct integration into copper piping systems
• Bronze body offers corrosion resistance in potable water and hydronic service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 3/4-inch copper pipe systems using sweat-soldered fittings in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the main water supply and fully drain the line before cutting pipe or applying heat to make soldered connections. Use appropriate flux and lead-free solder as required by potable water code. Ensure the valve is in the fully open position during the soldering process to avoid heat damage to internal seals and the wedge disc.
