Product identity

The Legend Valve 107-169NL is a 3/4" T540 no-lead brass ball valve designed for water heater drain applications. It serves plumbers and maintenance technicians who need a compliant drain control point on residential or commercial tanks.

Upgrade context

This valve replaces older drain cocks that may contain leaded brass or lack full-port flow. The jump is worth it when local codes require no-lead materials under Proposition 65 or when a quarter-turn ball action is preferred over multi-turn gate styles.

Installation notes

Standard 3/4" male threads connect directly to the heater drain port using pipe sealant approved for potable water. Common issues include cross-threading on corroded tank threads and forgetting to flush debris before final tightening.

Questions about this item

What size pipe thread does the 3/4" T540 drain valve connect to?

The valve uses a 3/4 inch pipe thread connection to fit standard water heater drain ports.

How is the no-lead brass ball valve installed on a water heater?

Thread the valve into the heater drain opening and tighten with a wrench; the step often missed is applying thread sealant to prevent leaks.

When should the T540 drain valve be replaced during water heater maintenance?

Replace the valve if the ball mechanism seizes, the handle cracks, or the brass body shows corrosion after repeated draining cycles.
