Product Identity
The Legend Valve 101-545NL is a no-lead DZR forged brass ball valve built for cold expansion PEX systems. It carries the T-1960NL designation and meets F 1960 standards for potable water installations. The product is supplied new in its original packaging.
Suitability
This valve suits plumbers and contractors who need a compliant, lead-free shut-off for residential or light commercial PEX piping. Installers working with crimp, push-fit or other non-expansion connection methods should look at alternative fittings designed for those specific systems.
Deciding Specification
The defining specification is the cold expansion PEX F 1960 connection type combined with no-lead DZR forged brass construction. That combination determines whether the valve matches the piping standard and water quality requirements of the project.

Questions about this item
What does the cold expansion PEX F 1960 standard mean for this 1" ball valve?
The valve is built to the F 1960 cold expansion PEX standard, so it accepts PEX tubing that is expanded over the barb before the ring shrinks back for a secure joint.
What pipe size and connection type does the 1" T-1960NL valve require?
It fits 1-inch nominal PEX tubing with cold expansion F 1960 rings; no soldering or threading is needed on the valve body.
How is the no-lead DZR forged brass valve installed on a PEX line?
Expand the PEX tube, slide the F 1960 ring onto the tube, push the tube fully onto the valve barb, then position and crimp the ring — skipping full insertion is the common error.
