Legend Valve 101-612 T-1002LD 3/8 inch forged brass full port ball valve with locking device
A 3/8 inch forged brass full port ball valve with a locking device for secure flow control
- Forged brass construction resists corrosion and wear
- Full port design maintains maximum flow capacity
- Locking device prevents accidental handle movement
- 3/8 inch connection fits standard air lines
- California Proposition 65 warning for chemical exposure awareness
Application fit
This 3/8 inch forged brass full port ball valve with a locking device is built for air compressor and vacuum pump lines where positive shut-off and full flow are required. The locking handle prevents accidental operation, making it suited for maintenance points and safety-critical branches in workshop or industrial piping systems.
Pressure containment
Forged brass construction resists deformation under typical compressed-air pressures and handles the thermal cycling found in compressor discharge lines. The full port design minimises pressure drop across the valve, while the quarter-turn mechanism operates cleanly without packing adjustments during routine service intervals.
Installation hardware
The valve ships with the locking device already fitted to the stem, so no separate padlock or retention clip is needed to secure the handle in either position. Threaded ends accept standard 3/8 inch NPT fittings, allowing direct connection to existing hose, pipe or manifold assemblies without extra adapters.

Questions about this item
How is the 3/8 inch forged brass full port ball valve with locking device installed, and what step is commonly missed?
Thread the 3/8 inch connections onto matching pipe threads using suitable sealant, then tighten with a wrench on the valve body flats. The step often missed is orienting the locking device so the handle can be secured in the open or closed position before final tightening.
What maintenance or replacement will the 3/8 inch forged brass full port ball valve with locking device need later?
Periodically operate the valve through its full range to prevent seizing. Inspect the forged brass body and ball for corrosion or mineral buildup. Replace the valve if the locking device no longer holds the handle securely or if leaks appear at the stem or seat.
What limit appears first on the 3/8 inch forged brass full port ball valve with locking device under sustained use?
The locking device mechanism may wear before the forged brass body, reducing its ability to hold the handle firmly in position. Repeated cycling can also degrade the stem seal, leading to minor weeping at the packing nut before the ball or seat fails.
