Legend Valve 105-408 Bronze Check Valve 2 in Soldered

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 105-408 is a 2-inch bronze Y-pattern check valve rated for 300 WOG (water, oil, gas) service. It uses a soldered-by-soldered end connection, making it a standard choice for copper piping systems in commercial and residential plumbing installations. The Y-pattern body geometry reduces flow restriction compared to inline swing-type designs, which helps maintain system pressure across the valve. At 4.5625 pounds, this is a solid, full-bodied valve built for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve to prevent backflow and protect equipment from reverse flow conditions.

This check valve is suited for plumbing and hydronic systems where a soldered copper connection is the standard joining method. It performs in water, oil, and gas service up to its 300 WOG pressure rating. Typical applications include domestic hot and cold water lines, heating and cooling piping loops, and light commercial plumbing systems where backflow prevention is required by code or system design. The Y-pattern configuration makes it a practical choice in tight mechanical rooms or chase installations where straight inline flow with lower pressure drop is a priority.

Key Features

• Y-pattern body reduces pressure drop compared to standard inline check valve designs
• 300 WOG pressure rating for water, oil, and gas service
• Soldered x soldered end connections for direct integration into copper pipe systems
• Bronze body construction provides corrosion resistance in wet and hydronic service
• 2-inch pipe size suits main distribution lines in residential and light commercial systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation check valve for 2-inch copper pipe systems using soldered end connections in plumbing and hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and any applicable local amendments. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before soldering or removing any existing valve. Use appropriate flux and lead-free solder where required by local code for potable water systems. Verify the flow direction arrow on the valve body is oriented correctly in the piping system before making final connections.
