  • No-lead forged brass protects drinking water safety

Product Identity

This Legend Valve 101-597NL is a 3/4 inch T-2007NL no-lead forged DZR brass ball valve with a drain port and PEX-to-PEX connections. It is intended for plumbers and maintenance technicians who need a compliant shut-off valve for potable water distribution systems.

Upgrade Context

The valve replaces older brass fittings that contain lead and do not meet current no-lead requirements for drinking water installations. The jump is worth it when local codes mandate certified no-lead components or when a drain port is required for seasonal system winterisation and maintenance access.

Installation Notes

The PEX-to-PEX ends accept standard crimp or clamp ring connections, so no threading or soldering is required during assembly. The most common issue is an incomplete crimp that leaves a leak path, and forgetting to close the drain cap after testing can cause unexpected water discharge when the system is pressurised.

Questions about this item

What PEX tubing size fits the 3/4 inch connections on this 101-597NL valve?

The valve uses 3/4 inch PEX ends, so 3/4 inch PEX tubing and matching crimp or clamp rings are required for a watertight joint.

Which way should the 101-597NL be oriented during installation, and what step is often missed?

Install with the handle accessible for shut-off; the drain port must face downward so the cap can be opened to relieve pressure, a step often overlooked.

How do I maintain the drain cap and seals on the 101-597NL over time?

Periodically remove the drain cap, clean any debris from the port, and replace the cap washer if it shows cracking or hardening to prevent seepage.
