Valve for gas oil and water

This Milwaukee Valve 149 gate valve controls flow of gas, oil or water in residential and light commercial plumbing. The bronze body and solid bronze wedge suit Class 125 service with a 200 psi operating limit and 125 psi steam rating. It is intended for installers who need a reliable rising-stem valve with sweat connections.

Bronze components and rising stem

All pressure-bearing parts including stem, wedge, seat, seal and bonnet are bronze, providing consistent corrosion resistance across the assembly. The screw-in bonnet simplifies maintenance while the wheel handle gives clear visual indication of valve position. A Cv of 97 supports full-port flow capacity for the nominal size.

Sweat connection installation notes

The sweat ends require proper copper tube preparation and soldering technique to achieve a leak-free joint. Overheating can damage the bronze seat and seals, so heat control is critical. The rising stem needs adequate clearance above the valve for full operation, and the screw-in bonnet should be checked for correct thread engagement before pressurising.

Questions about this item

Will the bronze stem and wedge need periodic lubrication or replacement over time?

The rising bronze stem and solid bronze wedge are built into the valve body; normal service does not call for scheduled lubrication or planned replacement of these parts.

What pressure limit is reached first when the valve handles steam continuously?

The steam rating caps at 125 psi, which is lower than the 200 psi cold-working limit, so steam pressure becomes the governing constraint.

How much heat does the bronze body radiate when the valve runs at 200 psi all day?

The valve is a passive bronze component with no internal power source, so it generates no measurable heat during continuous operation.
