Legend Valve H8SS Bronze Swing Check Valve 0.75in Fip

Product Description

The LEGEND VALVE H8SS is a 3/4-inch bronze swing check valve with female iron pipe (FIP) connections on both ends. Swing check valves use a hinged disc that opens under forward flow and closes automatically when flow stops or reverses, preventing backflow without requiring manual operation. The bronze body offers corrosion resistance suited to potable water, hydronic heating, and general plumbing service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve in residential and light commercial piping systems where passive backflow prevention is required by code.

This valve is sized for 3/4-inch FIP threaded pipe connections, making it a direct fit in standard plumbing rough-in scenarios. Typical applications include domestic water supply lines, boiler feed lines, and irrigation supply branches where backflow prevention without a pressure-reducing function is the primary requirement. The swing-style disc design produces low pressure drop compared to spring-loaded check alternatives, which is an advantage in gravity-fed or low-pressure systems.

Key Features

• Bronze body construction for corrosion resistance in water and hydronic service
• Swing-disc mechanism provides passive backflow prevention with no manual actuation required
• 3/4-inch FIP threaded connections for standard pipe thread makeup
• Low pressure drop across the valve compared to spring-loaded check designs
• Compact form factor suitable for tight plumbing chases and panel installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation check valve for 3/4-inch FIP threaded plumbing and hydronic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable edition of the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local amendments. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or threading in this unit. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before makeup — do not apply sealant to the first two threads to avoid contamination of the valve seat. Confirm flow-direction orientation before final tightening, as swing check valves are directional and will not function correctly if installed backwards.
