Legend Valve 3698812 True Union Ball Valve 1 in Pvc Sch 80

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE 3698812 is a true union ball valve constructed from Schedule 80 PVC, sized at 1 inch. True union design allows the valve body to be removed from the line without disturbing the pipe connections, making in-line maintenance and replacement significantly faster. The Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making it well suited for chemical handling, irrigation, and water treatment applications. Plumbers, pipe fitters, and water treatment technicians are the primary installers of this valve type.

This valve is intended for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a solvent-weld or threaded PVC isolation valve is required. Common applications include pool and spa plumbing, irrigation supply lines, chemical feed systems, and water treatment skids. The true union configuration is particularly useful in systems that require periodic valve servicing without full line disassembly. It is appropriate for cold and ambient-temperature fluid service within the pressure limits of Schedule 80 PVC piping systems.

Key Features

• True union body design allows in-line removal without cutting pipe
• Schedule 80 PVC construction offers thicker walls and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• 1-inch line size fits standard 1-inch PVC pipe systems
• Full-port ball valve provides minimal flow restriction in the open position
• Corrosion-resistant PVC material suitable for chemical and water service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation valve for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems in plumbing, irrigation, pool, and chemical handling applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off system flow and relieve line pressure before installing or replacing this valve. Solvent-weld connections require proper PVC primer and cement applied per the cement manufacturer instructions and allowed to cure before pressurizing the line. Do not apply heat or over-torque union nuts, as PVC fittings are susceptible to cracking under mechanical stress.
