Legend Valve 116-427 Wafer Butterfly Valve 8 Inch

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 116-427 is a manual wafer butterfly valve designed for 8-inch pipe systems. It features a cast iron body, an aluminum bronze disc, and a stainless steel stem, making it a durable option for flow control in industrial and commercial piping applications. The lever handle provides straightforward quarter-turn operation, allowing technicians to open or shut off flow quickly. A Buna-N seat provides a reliable seal across a range of fluid types. At 35 pounds, this is a substantial valve suited for demanding system environments. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

The 116-427 is appropriate for use in commercial and industrial water distribution, HVAC hydronic systems, and general-purpose fluid handling where an 8-inch wafer-style butterfly valve is specified. The wafer design sandwiches between standard flanges, keeping installation compact and reducing overall face-to-face dimension compared to lug-style alternatives. The lever handle suits applications where manual isolation is performed regularly and a handwheel or actuator is not required.

Key Features

• Cast iron body construction for strength in commercial and industrial service
• Aluminum bronze disc resists corrosion and wear in fluid flow environments
• Stainless steel stem provides corrosion resistance and long service life
• Buna-N seat material delivers a dependable shutoff seal
• Lever handle allows fast quarter-turn manual operation
• Wafer-style profile fits between standard pipe flanges without additional clearance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style wafer butterfly valve for use in 8-inch flanged piping systems in commercial HVAC, plumbing, and industrial fluid handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. The system must be fully depressurized and drained before removing or installing the valve. Verify flange bolt pattern and pressure rating compatibility with the existing piping system before mounting. Follow applicable IPC and ASME B16 standards for flange bolting sequence and gasket selection.
