Application and Compliance

The Legend Valve 101-564NL is a drop-ear ball valve designed for cold-expansion PEX systems in plumbing installations. It suits installers who need a no-lead, drainable shut-off point with secure mounting ears for rigid attachment to framing.

Regulatory Constraints

This valve carries California Proposition 65 warnings for chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Buyers in regulated jurisdictions must disclose these warnings and verify that local codes accept the listed compliance status before installation.

Build and Daily Use

The body uses DZR forged brass for dezincification resistance in aggressive water conditions. Drop-ear tabs allow direct fastening to studs or blocking, while the integrated drain port enables system winterising or maintenance without removing the valve. The cold-expansion F1960 connection requires the matching expansion tool and rings for a permanent joint.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 101-564NL or the T-1960NL version for my PEX installation?

Both references describe the same drop-ear ball valve; 101-564NL is the catalogue number and T-1960NL identifies the F1960 cold-expansion PEX connection.

What does the F1960 cold-expansion PEX connection mean when the valve is installed?

It means the valve seats directly onto cold-expansion PEX tubing without soldering, using an expansion ring that shrinks onto the barbed end for a permanent seal.

How does the drop-ear mounting and drain port affect the installation?

The drop ears provide screw holes for securing the valve to a stud or block, and the drain port lets you empty the line for winterising or servicing without removing the valve.
