Legend Valve 104-478 2" S-400 Brass Compact Gate Valve

2-inch S-400 Brass Compact Gate Valve

The Legend Valve 104-478 is a 2-inch S-400 brass compact gate valve designed for plumbing shut-off duties. Its brass construction provides corrosion resistance for water supply lines in residential and light commercial installations. The compact form factor suits tight piping arrangements where a full-size valve body will not fit. It is intended for installers who need a reliable on-off control valve in a 2-inch line.

Replaces worn gate valves in 2-inch plumbing

This valve serves as a direct replacement for failed or leaking gate valves in existing 2-inch piping systems. The upgrade is worth it when the old seat no longer seals or the stem packing drips under pressure. A fresh brass body and gate restore positive shut-off without re-piping the entire branch. It is not suited for systems that require throttling flow or frequent cycling, as gate valves are designed for fully open or fully closed service.

Handles standard water supply pressure in 2-inch

The S-400 rating indicates the pressure class this valve comfortably handles in normal cold-water distribution. It provides full bore flow when open, minimising pressure drop across the fitting. Headroom ends where service conditions exceed the S-400 pressure class, such as high-pressure booster systems or steam lines. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
