Legend Valve 313-718 Water Meter Flange Coupling

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 313-718 is a cast iron water meter flange coupling designed to connect water meters to supply piping in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Flange couplings of this type provide a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection at meter installations, allowing for straightforward meter removal and reinstallation during service or replacement. At 2.4 pounds, this is a solid, durable fitting suited for permanent buried or above-grade meter pit installations. Licensed plumbers and water utility contractors are the primary installers of this component.

This flange coupling is used in water distribution and metering applications where a bolted flange connection is required at the meter inlet or outlet. It is appropriate for residential water service lines and light commercial metering setups. Cast iron construction makes it a standard choice for meter setter and pit installations where corrosion resistance and long service life are priorities under normal water service conditions.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides durability and long service life in water meter installations
• Flange-style connection allows for secure bolted assembly and straightforward meter serviceability
• Compact and solid at 2.4 pounds, appropriate for typical residential or light commercial meter settings
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without overage

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation flange coupling for standard water meter connections in residential and light commercial plumbing systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the main water supply and relieve line pressure before removing any existing meter hardware. Inspect mating flange faces and gaskets for damage before assembly, and follow the fastener torque sequence appropriate for the flange size per standard practice. Do not overtighten bolts on cast iron flanges, as the material does not flex and is susceptible to cracking under uneven loading.
