Legend Valve 116-405 Wafer Butterfly Valve 5 Inch Lever

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 116-405 is a manual wafer-style butterfly valve designed for 5-inch pipe systems. It uses a lever handle for quick quarter-turn operation, making it well suited for on-off flow control in commercial and industrial piping applications. The body is cast iron, the disc is aluminum bronze, and the stem is stainless steel, providing a corrosion-resistant assembly built for demanding service conditions. The EPDM seat provides a reliable seal against a wide range of fluids. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve in mechanical and process piping systems.

This valve is intended for use in commercial and industrial piping systems where a compact, low-pressure-drop shutoff solution is required. The wafer design sandwiches between two pipe flanges, reducing installation length compared to lug or flanged body styles. Typical applications include HVAC chilled water and heating hot water systems, water treatment, and general industrial fluid handling. The lever handle allows fast manual actuation without additional tools during routine operation.

Key Features

• Wafer body style fits between standard pipe flanges for compact installation
• Cast iron body provides durability in commercial and industrial service
• Aluminum bronze disc resists corrosion in water and many fluid applications
• Stainless steel stem for long service life and resistance to pitting
• EPDM seat material compatible with water, steam condensate, and mild chemicals
• Lever handle allows quarter-turn manual operation without additional actuators

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wafer butterfly valve for 5-inch pipe systems using standard flange bolt patterns in commercial and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before installing or removing the valve. Ensure flange gaskets are properly seated on both sides of the wafer body before torquing flange bolts to the pipe flange manufacturer specifications. Verify disc clearance within the pipe bore before final tightening to prevent disc-to-pipe contact during operation.
