1/4" Bronze Gate Valve for Gas, Oil & Water

This 1/4-inch bronze gate valve controls flow in gas, oil and water lines. Its solid bronze wedge and rising stem deliver reliable shut-off for residential and light-commercial plumbing. The valve is rated for 200 psi operating pressure and 125 psi steam service.

Screw-in Bonnet with Bronze Trim for Durable Sealing

The screw-in bonnet and all-bronze trim resist corrosion in wet or humid environments. Bronze seat, seal and stem materials maintain tight closure over repeated cycles. Wheel handle operation provides clear visual indication of valve position.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1/4" FNPT gate valve and which step is often done incorrectly?

Thread the valve onto the female NPT pipe using pipe thread sealant on the male threads only, then tighten with a wrench on the valve body flats; the common mistake is applying sealant to the female threads or over-tightening, which can crack the bronze bonnet.

What maintenance or replacement will the Milwaukee Valve 148 need over time?

The bronze wedge, seat and stem seals wear with cycling; expect to replace the solid bronze wedge and re-pack the rising stem packing gland when leakage appears at the bonnet or handle.

What is the first pressure limit reached during sustained steam service at 125 psi?

The valve is rated for 125 psi maximum steam pressure; sustained operation at that limit will reach the steam rating before the 200 psi cold working pressure becomes a factor.
