Legend Valve 116-422 Wafer Butterfly Valve 2-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 116-422 is a manual wafer-style butterfly valve designed for 2-1/2 inch pipe systems. It uses a lever handle for quick quarter-turn operation, making it a practical shutoff or flow-control solution in commercial and industrial piping applications. The cast iron body provides structural durability, the aluminum bronze disc resists corrosion in a range of media, and the stainless steel stem adds resistance to wear and pitting. The Buna-N seat delivers a reliable seal across a broad range of service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve type.

The 116-422 is suited for use in water distribution, HVAC hydronic systems, and general industrial piping where a compact, low-pressure-drop wafer design is preferred over flanged or lug-style valves. The wafer configuration fits between standard pipe flanges without requiring additional flange hardware, keeping installation compact. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit applications where space between flanges is limited.

Key Features

• Wafer body style installs between standard pipe flanges for a compact footprint
• Cast iron body offers robust structural performance for commercial piping service
• Aluminum bronze disc provides corrosion resistance in water and mild fluid applications
• Stainless steel stem resists wear and corrosion at the actuation point
• Buna-N seat delivers a positive seal across typical service temperatures and pressures
• Lever handle enables fast quarter-turn shutoff without additional tools

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wafer butterfly valve for 2-1/2 inch pipe systems requiring a lever-operated quarter-turn shutoff with a cast iron wafer body construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IPC guidelines. Isolate and fully depressurize the piping system and drain the line before removing or installing the valve. Ensure flange faces are clean and properly aligned before torquing flange bolts to avoid distorting the valve body or seat. Do not use the valve in fluids or at pressures and temperatures beyond the ratings specified by the manufacturer.
