Quarter-inch gate valve

This quarter-inch gate valve from Milwaukee Valve is built for residential and light-commercial plumbing where a positive shut-off is required. The bronze body and non-rising stem suit installations in tight wall cavities or utility rooms. It handles water, oil or gas media within the rated pressure range. The wheel handle provides clear visual indication of the open or closed position.

Replaces leaking or seized shut-offs

Swap this valve in when an existing quarter-inch stop valve drips, binds or fails to seal under system pressure. The solid bronze wedge and stainless-steel seat resist wear better than compression-style stops. The upgrade is worth it when the line sees 300 psi steam or 1,000 psi non-shock cold working pressure. The 5.6 Cv rating maintains flow for fixtures and appliance feeds.

Verify thread and pressure compatibility

Confirm the pipe uses 1/4 inch NPT female threads before ordering. Check that the system design pressure does not exceed 1,000 psi for water, oil or gas and 300 psi for saturated steam. Ensure the bronze materials are compatible with the specific fluid chemistry in the circuit. The union bonnet allows in-line servicing without removing the valve from the piping.

Questions about this item

What pipe thread size does the 1/4-inch gate valve use?

The valve has a female NPT connection on one side for 1/4-inch pipe threads.

Which way should the wheel handle face when installing this bronze gate valve?

Install with the handwheel accessible for operation; the non-rising stem means the handle does not move up or down when opening.

Will the stainless steel seat or bronze seal need replacement on this Class 300 valve?

The stainless steel seat and bronze seal are built for 1,000 psi water and oil service and 300 psi steam; replacement depends on wear in your specific application.
