Valve Specifications
The Legend Valve 101-577NL is a 3/4 T-2008NL no-lead DZR forged brass drop ear PEX ball valve designed for potable water systems. It provides a quarter-turn shut-off for PEX tubing installations in residential or commercial plumbing projects.
Lead-Free Upgrade
This valve replaces older brass fittings that contain lead, meeting California Proposition 65 requirements for no-lead content. The jump is worth it when local codes mandate lead-free components or when the installer wants dezincification-resistant material for longer service life.
Installation Notes
The drop ear design allows the valve to be secured to a stud or mounting surface with screws for stable PEX connections. What usually goes wrong is over-tightening crimp rings or using an incorrect PEX tool, which can damage the barb or cause leaks at the joint.
