3 inch S-1002 Ball Valve
This 3 inch S-1002 ball valve is a forged brass full port valve with a gland follower design. It serves industrial and commercial fluid-control systems that require a straight-through flow path. The full port bore matches the pipe inner diameter to minimise pressure drop. It is built for on-off service in compressed air and compatible liquid lines.
Upgrade from reduced port valves
The full port design replaces reduced port valves that restrict flow and increase turbulence. The jump is worth it when system efficiency depends on maintaining maximum flow capacity across the 3 inch line. The gland follower design also improves stem sealing compared to simpler packing arrangements. Installers gain a more serviceable joint without changing pipe layout.
Sustained flow behaviour
Under sustained load the forged brass body resists deformation and maintains seal integrity over repeated cycles. The gland follower allows packing adjustment without valve removal, keeping leakage low during continuous operation. Full port geometry prevents the velocity spikes that accelerate erosion in restricted designs. The valve remains operable after long periods in a single position.

Questions about this item
What pipe size does the 3-inch S-1002 ball valve connect to?
The valve has a 3-inch full port design that matches 3-inch pipe threads for direct installation.
How is the gland follower design on the 101-090 valve installed?
Tighten the gland follower nut evenly after threading the valve onto the pipe to compress the packing without over-torquing the brass body.
When should the packing on the Legend Valve 101-090 be replaced?
Replace the stem packing when you notice leakage around the handle shaft during operation, typically after extended service cycles.
