Legend Valve 101-563NL Drainable Ball Valve

The Legend Valve 101-563NL is a T-1960NL drainable ball valve designed for potable water systems using cold expansion PEX. It serves plumbers and facility managers who need a no-lead, dezincification-resistant forged brass valve with a drop ear mounting flange and integrated drain port for system maintenance.

No Lead DZR Forged Brass Construction

The valve body uses no-lead DZR forged brass that resists dezincification in aggressive water conditions. California Proposition 65 notices indicate the product contains chemicals known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm, so installers should follow safe handling practices during fitting and soldering.

Drop Ear Mounting with Integrated Drain

The drop ear flange allows secure attachment to framing members without additional brackets. The built-in drain port enables line draining for winterisation or repairs without removing the valve, while the cold expansion PEX connection follows the F1960 standard for compatible tooling.

  • No-lead brass protects drinking water safety
  • DZR forged body resists dezincification corrosion
  • Cold-expansion PEX ends install without crimp tools

Questions about this item

How do I install the cold-expansion PEX ends on the drop-ear ball valve?

Slide the cold-expansion PEX rings onto the tubing, expand each end with a compatible F1960 tool, push onto the valve barbs, then let the rings shrink back for a seal.

What maintenance does the drainable ball valve require over time?

Operate the handle quarterly to prevent seizing; open the drain cap after winter shutdowns to clear debris and verify the port flows freely.

What limit appears first during sustained hot-water use?

The no-lead DZR forged brass body handles continuous potable-water temperatures; the cold-expansion PEX connection sets the practical ceiling.
