Legend Valve 310-521NL No Lead Hex Bushing 1-1/2" x 1/4

Lead-Free Hex Bushing for Potable Water

The Legend Valve 310-521NL is a no-lead cast bronze hex bushing designed for plumbing systems carrying drinking water. It reduces a 1-1/2 inch male pipe thread to a 1/4 inch female pipe thread. The lead-free construction meets safety standards for potable water installations. Professional plumbers and DIY installers use this fitting to connect pipes of different diameters.

Replaces Standard Leaded Bushings

This fitting upgrades older leaded bronze or brass bushings where water quality regulations now require lead-free components. The change is worth it during new rough-ins, remodel work, or when replacing corroded fittings in potable lines. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains a chemical known to the state to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Threads Directly Into Existing NPT Piping

The MNPT and FNPT threads match standard US tapered pipe threads, so the bushing installs with common pipe wrenches and thread sealant. No special tools, adapters, or soldering are required. The cast bronze body resists dezincification and handles typical residential water pressures. The hex head provides reliable wrench engagement in tight spaces.
