Legend Valve 116-425 Wafer Butterfly Valve 5 Inch Lever

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 116-425 is a manual wafer-style butterfly valve designed for 5-inch pipe installations. It features a cast iron body, an aluminum bronze disc, a stainless steel stem, and a Buna-N seat, making it suitable for a range of fluid-control applications in commercial and industrial piping systems. The lever handle provides direct quarter-turn actuation for straightforward open and close operation. At 18 pounds, the valve is built with durable materials suited for demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this class of valve.

This butterfly valve is used in commercial and industrial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, water distribution, and general fluid-handling piping where a compact, wafer-style body is required. The wafer design allows it to fit between standard pipe flanges without a full flanged valve body, saving space in tight mechanical rooms and equipment areas. The lever handle is well-suited for manual service isolation or flow control in accessible locations.

Key Features

• Wafer-style body mounts between flanges for compact installation
• Cast iron body provides strength and durability in commercial piping applications
• Aluminum bronze disc resists corrosion and wear in fluid-handling service
• Stainless steel stem offers corrosion resistance under repeated actuation cycles
• Buna-N seat material compatible with water and many common fluids
• Quarter-turn lever handle allows fast manual open and close operation

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Isolate and depressurize the piping system fully before installing or removing the valve. Confirm flange bolt-circle dimensions and pressure ratings match the system requirements before torquing flange hardware. Do not use the lever handle as a throttling device for extended periods, as butterfly valves in this class are typically rated for full open or full closed service.
