Legend Valve 310-318NL 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" No Lead Reducing Elbow

Product Identity

The Legend Valve 310-318NL is a 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" no-lead cast bronze reducing elbow designed for potable water plumbing systems. It provides a 90-degree directional change between threaded pipes of different diameters using FNPT connections. This fitting suits installers needing a lead-free transition component for residential or commercial supply lines. The material composition meets regulatory requirements for drinking water safety.

Installation Fit

This elbow serves plumbers joining a 1-1/2 inch female thread to a 1-1/4 inch female thread in a right-angle configuration. It is not intended for sweat, press, or push-fit pipe ends, nor for gas lines or high-pressure hydraulic circuits. Installers requiring straight couplings, tees, or different thread combinations should select alternative fittings. The no-lead bronze construction addresses jurisdictions with strict lead-content limits.

Service Behaviour

Cast bronze resists dezincification and stress corrosion under continuous water exposure better than standard brass alloys. The 90-degree flow path creates predictable pressure drop characteristics during sustained demand periods. Threaded joints maintain seal integrity through thermal cycling and vibration when installed with appropriate sealant. California Proposition 65 warnings apply due to chemical content inherent in the alloy.
