Stop and Waste Valve 3/4" IP

The Stop and Waste Valve (SWV07T) from Legend Valve & Fitting is a 3/4-inch brass valve that does double duty: it shuts off flow to a line and drains the downstream section through a built-in waste port. That drain feature makes it especially valuable for outdoor faucets, irrigation lines, and any plumbing that needs to be winterized or fully emptied to prevent the costly freeze damage that catches so many homeowners off guard.

The principle behind a stop and waste valve is simple but highly effective. When you close the valve, it not only stops incoming water but also opens a small waste port that lets the trapped water in the downstream pipe drain out. In freeze-prone regions, that ability to fully empty a line is the difference between a sound system in spring and a burst pipe to repair. The valve is equally useful for isolating and draining sections of a system for maintenance or repairs at any time of year.

Brass construction gives this valve the corrosion resistance and durability expected of quality plumbing hardware, allowing it to operate smoothly season after season without seizing or leaking. The male threaded connections on both ends make it straightforward to integrate into common 3/4-inch pipe sizes using thread sealant or PTFE tape for a watertight joint.

For homeowners and installers working on well systems, outdoor plumbing, hose bibs, and seasonal lines, this Legend stop and waste valve is a practical, freeze-protecting addition that pays for itself the very first hard winter it prevents a costly break. It is a small investment that protects far more expensive plumbing from one of the most common and damaging failures in cold-climate water systems. Simple, durable, and genuinely protective, this stop and waste valve is a sensible upgrade for any outdoor or seasonal line in regions where winter freezing is a recurring threat.
