What this valve is and who needs it
The Legend Valve 108-166A T-550 is a frost-free sillcock valve designed for outdoor water supply lines. It combines a 3/4 inch male NPT thread with a sweat connection and an 8 inch stem length. The quarter-turn operation provides simple on-off control for residential and light commercial installations.
Installing the valve and common pitfalls
The valve installs by threading the 3/4 inch MNPT end into a female fitting or by sweating the copper connection directly to pipe. Ensure the valve is pitched slightly downward so water drains from the stem when shut off. A frequent error is over-tightening the packing nut, which can make the quarter-turn handle stiff or cause leaks around the stem.
What to verify on your existing plumbing before
Confirm that your supply line uses a 3/4 inch female NPT thread or accepts a 3/4 inch sweat joint. Measure the wall thickness to ensure the 8 inch stem reaches the heated interior space for freeze protection. Check local codes for compliance with the Proposition 65 warnings regarding chemical content.
