1-1/2" PVC Ball Valve, Plastic x Plastic

Legend S-601 1-1/2" PVC Ball Valve – Full-Port Performance for Demanding Systems

The Legend S-601 1-1/2" PVC Ball Valve is designed for high-capacity fluid shutoff in residential, commercial, and light industrial applications. Constructed from ASTM D1784 virgin PVC resin and equipped with EPDM seals, this valve provides long-lasting performance in corrosive environments and cold water systems.

Engineered with a full-port design, the S-601 ensures unrestricted flow while maintaining a robust seal under pressure. Its one-piece molded body absorbs mechanical stress and vibration, reducing wear on internal components over time.

Installation Notes

Designed for use in solvent-welded PVC piping systems, this valve is suited for Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 installations. Proper preparation of the pipe ends and solvent weld surfaces is critical to ensure a secure, pressure-tight bond. For best results, allow adequate cure time before pressurizing the system. Professional installation is advised for code compliance and long-term performance.

Field Application Insights

For Contractors: The S-601 is built for heavy-duty shutoff in water distribution, irrigation, and low-pressure industrial systems. The full-port body ensures minimal flow restriction, while the shock-resistant housing provides extended service life in dynamic environments. Its consistent torque operation and chemical-resistant materials reduce callbacks and system failures.

For Skilled Technicians: Installation requires accurate solvent cementing and alignment. When installed correctly, the valve's integrated stress-distribution design helps reduce cracking or joint fatigue in high-vibration or high-cycle applications.

Additional Functional Features

• Full-Port Design: Maximizes flow capacity and reduces pressure loss
• Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for water systems with chemical exposure
• Shock Load Absorption: Valve body reduces fatigue and internal component wear
