Legend Valve 201-426 Miniature Ball Valve 1-1/4 in Full Port

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 201-426 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1-1/4 inch pipe in full-port configuration. The body is constructed from Schedule 80 PVC (polyvinyl chloride), making it well-suited for corrosive fluid handling, chemical lines, and low-pressure water systems where metal valves are not appropriate. The full-port design delivers unrestricted flow with minimal pressure drop. The EPDM seals provide reliable performance across a range of fluid types, and the PTFE seat offers low-friction operation with consistent shutoff. A tee-style ABS handle allows for quick quarter-turn actuation and immediate visual confirmation of open or closed position. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This valve is typically used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation, water treatment, and chemical distribution systems where PVC pipe is specified. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct threaded installation into standard female-threaded PVC or compatible pipe fittings. The gray body with red handle is standard for Schedule 80 PVC valve applications and aids in quick visual identification on multi-line systems. Its compact, miniature form factor is useful in tight spaces or panel-mounted manifold assemblies.

Key Features

• Full-port ball design minimizes pressure drop and flow restriction
• Schedule 80 PVC body rated for higher pressure and chemical resistance versus Schedule 40
• EPDM seals suitable for water, mild chemicals, and a range of process fluids
• PTFE seat provides low-friction, long-service shutoff
• Tee-style ABS handle for quarter-turn manual operation and quick visual status check
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for straightforward threaded installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation manual shutoff valve for 1-1/4 inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using FNPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing any existing valve or making threaded connections. Apply a compatible thread sealant rated for PVC and the fluid being handled — do not overtighten threaded connections, as PVC fittings can crack under excessive torque. Verify the valve handle is in the closed position before restoring system pressure.
