3/8" No-Lead Brass Ball Valve
The Legend Valve 101-082NL is a 3/8-inch forged brass full-port ball valve designed for air compressor and vacuum pump systems. Its no-lead construction satisfies California Proposition 65 requirements for potable water safety. The gland follower design helps maintain a reliable stem seal under pressure. This component suits installers who need a compliant shut-off valve for compressed air lines.
Replaces Leaded Brass Shut-Offs
This valve upgrades older leaded brass ball valves that no longer meet current no-lead regulations. The jump is worth it when a system must comply with Proposition 65 standards for cancer and reproductive harm warnings. It also applies when a full-port flow path is required to minimise pressure drop across the fitting. Builders who do not need no-lead certification or a full-port bore will not benefit from the change.
Simple Threaded Installation
The valve installs with standard 3/8-inch pipe threads using common wrenches and thread sealant. The gland follower allows stem packing adjustment if a leak develops at the stem over time. Over-tightening the bonnet can damage the forged brass body, so torque should be kept moderate. Debris in the line during assembly is the most common cause of seat leakage after installation.
