Legend Valve 201-427 Miniature Ball Valve 1-1/2 in Full Port

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 201-427 is a miniature manual ball valve designed for 1-1/2 inch pipe in full-port configuration with FNPT x FNPT end connections. The body is constructed from Schedule 80 PVC (polyvinylchloride), making it well suited for corrosive fluid and chemical handling applications where metal valves are not appropriate. The tee-style ABS handle allows for quick quarter-turn operation, and EPDM seals paired with a PTFE seat provide reliable shutoff performance. This valve is installed by plumbers and mechanical contractors in systems requiring compact, lightweight flow control.

This valve is commonly used in residential and light commercial plumbing, water treatment, irrigation, and chemical distribution systems where Schedule 80 PVC piping is specified. The full-port design minimizes pressure drop across the valve, which is important in flow-sensitive systems. The gray PVC body with red tee handle makes it easy to identify valve position at a glance. FNPT x FNPT connections allow direct threading into standard female-threaded pipe fittings without additional adapters.

Key Features

• Full-port bore maintains flow capacity and reduces pressure drop
• Schedule 80 PVC body resists corrosion and chemical attack
• EPDM seals provide flexibility and resistance to water and many chemicals
• PTFE seat delivers low-friction, reliable sealing through repeated cycles
• Quarter-turn tee handle allows fast open and close operation
• Gray body with red handle for quick visual identification of valve status

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems with 1-1/2 inch FNPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical contractor. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant rated for PVC and the conveyed fluid to all threaded connections. Do not use pipe wrenches directly on the PVC body; use strap wrenches to avoid cracking the housing.
