Legend Valve 116-426 Wafer Butterfly Valve 6 Inch

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 116-426 is a manual wafer-style butterfly valve designed for flow control in 6-inch pipe systems. It features a cast iron body, an aluminum bronze disc, and a stainless steel stem, making it well suited for demanding commercial and industrial piping applications. The lever handle allows direct manual actuation without the need for a gear operator, keeping operation fast and straightforward. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers for this type of valve in hydronic, process, or water distribution systems.

This valve is intended for use in wafer-style installations where it is sandwiched between two flanges on a 6-inch pipeline. The wafer configuration keeps the installation footprint compact compared to lug or flanged body styles. It is commonly used in commercial HVAC hydronic systems, industrial water supply lines, and general-purpose fluid distribution where manual shutoff or throttling is required. The Buna-N seat material provides a resilient seal suitable for water and many common fluids.

Key Features

• Wafer body style fits between standard 6-inch pipe flanges for a compact installation
• Cast iron body provides durability in commercial and industrial piping environments
• Aluminum bronze disc offers corrosion resistance in water and fluid service
• Stainless steel stem resists corrosion and maintains structural integrity under cycling
• Buna-N seat delivers a reliable, resilient seal for water and compatible fluid applications
• Lever handle enables quick manual open and close without additional actuation hardware

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation wafer butterfly valve for 6-inch pipe systems requiring a lever-operated manual shutoff in commercial or industrial piping configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation of this valve should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the pipeline completely before removing any existing valve or installing this unit. Verify flange bolt circle and pressure rating compatibility before mounting between flanges. Overtightening flange bolts unevenly can distort the wafer body and compromise the seat seal.
