distribution center in Stafford, TX. This strategic move reflects Legend’s commitment to providing exceptional customer service and maintaining its position as an industry leader in cost-effective supply solutions.
The Stafford, TX warehouse substantially increases our distribution footprint for servicing our customers in the growing Southern US. This significant investment underscores Legend Valve’s dedication to operational excellence and customer satisfaction. While Legend is already the industry leader in operational excellence by combining passionate employees with cutting-edge technology, the new facility will allow Legend to deliver to 96% of customers within the continental United States within two days or less. The facility will also offer local wholesalers’ easy access to a will-call service desk, further allowing customers to reduce their inventory-carrying costs.
“We are excited to open our new distribution center, which will greatly enhance our efficiency based on the proximity to a growing market. Legend promises shipping within 24 hours, and this new facility will significantly cut transit time to meet the increasing demands of our customers in the region,” said Larry Emmert, Vice-President of Operations at Legend Valve. “This facility represents a major milestone for Legend and reinforces our commitment to be the preferred supplier to plumbing wholesalers.” Adding Stafford expands Legend’s distribution footprint, which already includes Reno, NV, and Detroit, MI.
Legend’s new distribution center has already created significant job opportunities, further contributing to Stafford’s local economy. We look forward to continuing to support the community and our customers as the facility begins operations in early April 2024.

The Evolution of Hydronic Balancing
Thursday, April 25
12:00 – 1:00 p.m. CDT
Technical Content Level: Novice
There are many tools designers, installers and balancing contractors can use to properly balance a hydronic system. These include a range of balancing valves, instruments to read differential pressure and flow rate, and software that simulates flows in complex piping systems. The evolution of balancing valve technology in the last decade gives designers and installers many choices to best match the components with their project goals.
Max Rohr will walk attendees through a variety of valve options from simple, manually adjusted devices, to state-of-the-art, pressure independent control valves (PICV).
You’ll learn:
→ Balancing valve fundamentals
→ How to apply different valve styles to meet project/system goals?
→ What steps are required to properly commission a system?
→ Protection and maintenance of balancing valves
Max is the Caleffi Director of Education and Technical Marketing. He has 20+ years of work experience in installation, distribution, manufacturers’ representation and manufacturing roles. He is a self-described “energy nerd.”
