Legend Valve 310-309NL reducing elbow

The Legend Valve 310-309NL is a 1" x 3/8" no-lead cast bronze 90° reducing elbow with FNPT x FNPT threads. It connects pipes of different diameters in potable water systems. The fitting is supplied new and complies with no-lead requirements for drinking water installations.

Upgrading from leaded fittings

This elbow replaces older leaded bronze or brass fittings where current codes demand no-lead materials for potable water. The jump is worth it when a project requires a 90° change of direction between 1" and 3/8" female pipe threads and local regulations prohibit leaded alloys. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to this product.

Suited for residential and commercial plumbing

Installers working on potable water lines who need a no-lead 90° reducing elbow in this specific size will find it appropriate. It is not for systems requiring a straight coupling, a different thread combination, or a non-threaded connection method. Buyers needing other diameters or configurations should look at alternative fittings.

Questions about this item

What thread sizes does the 1" x 3/8" reducing elbow use for connection?

The elbow has 1" FNPT on one end and 3/8" FNPT on the other, both female National Pipe Taper threads for direct pipe engagement.

How should the cast bronze elbow be sealed during installation to prevent leaks?

Apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the male threads before tightening into the FNPT ports; the common error is skipping sealant on the smaller 3/8" side.

Will the no-lead bronze material require any specific replacement schedule?

The no-lead cast bronze body resists corrosion in potable water; inspect joints annually for seepage and replace only if threads strip or the casting cracks.
