Legend Valve 108-153nl Frost-free Sillcock 1/2x8 No-lead

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 108-153nl is a quarter-turn, frost-free sillcock valve designed for residential and light commercial exterior water supply applications. This no-lead valve features a 1/2-inch connection size and an 8-inch body length, placing the internal shut-off point well inside the wall cavity to protect against freezing in cold climates. It accepts both male NPT (MNPT) and sweat (solder) end connections, giving installers flexibility at rough-in. The no-lead construction meets safe drinking water standards for potable water systems. A quarter-turn ball-style operation provides fast, reliable shut-off for outdoor hose bibs and irrigation supply lines.

This sillcock is suited for installation through exterior walls of residential homes, multi-family buildings, and light commercial structures where freeze protection is required. The 8-inch body length accommodates standard framed wall thicknesses. The dual MNPT and sweat inlet options make it compatible with both threaded and copper supply lines, covering the most common rough-in configurations encountered in new construction and replacement work. Licensed plumbers and qualified mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

Key Features

• Frost-free design with 8-inch body keeps the internal shut-off inside the heated envelope of the building
• No-lead construction compliant with safe drinking water requirements for potable water service
• Quarter-turn operation for fast, positive shut-off with minimal handle travel
• Dual inlet configuration accepts MNPT or sweat (solder) connections for installation flexibility
• 1/2-inch nominal connection size matches standard residential water supply line sizing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation sillcock for residential and light commercial exterior plumbing systems requiring a 1/2-inch, 8-inch frost-free hose bib with MNPT or sweat inlet connections.

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 main water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. When using the sweat connection, follow standard copper soldering practices and allow fittings to cool completely before pressurizing. Pitch the valve body slightly downward toward the exterior to promote full drainage when the valve is closed, which is essential for freeze protection to function correctly.
