Legend Valve 113-122 Ball Valve 3/8 Inch Fnpt 316 Stainless

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 113-122 is a 1-piece standard port manual ball valve built for 3/8 inch pipe with female NPT connections on both ends. The body, trim, and handle are all 316 stainless steel, making this valve well suited for corrosive media, potable water, and chemical service where carbon steel is not acceptable. A reinforced PTFE seat provides a reliable, low-friction seal across a wide range of fluid types. The locking lever handle prevents accidental operation in vibration-prone or code-sensitive installations. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This valve is a standard inline shutoff used in residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, chemical feed lines, and compressed air distribution. The FNPT x FNPT end configuration threads directly into standard female NPT pipe fittings with no adapters required. The 3/8 inch pipe size places it in smaller branch lines, instrument taps, bypass circuits, and chemical injection points. Its 316 SS construction suits marine, food service, and industrial environments where 304 SS or brass may not meet corrosion resistance requirements.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel body, trim, and handle for superior corrosion resistance
• Reinforced PTFE seat for low-friction sealing across a broad range of media
• Locking lever handle prevents inadvertent valve actuation
• 1-piece body construction for compact installation in tight spaces
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for direct threaded installation — no adapters needed
• Standard port design sized for typical flow requirements in 3/8 inch branch lines

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation manual ball valve for 3/8 inch female NPT threaded pipe systems requiring stainless steel construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line and drain any residual fluid before removing or installing the valve. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound rated for the intended service medium to all male NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or distort the valve body sealing surfaces.
