SKU CH-H2AY-XXCY0

Controls gas, oil or water flow with a bronze body, rising stem and sweat connection rated to 200 psi

  • Reliable flow control for gas, oil and water with bronze body and seat
  • Rising-stem design gives clear visual indication of valve position
  • 200 psi operating pressure rating suits demanding plumbing systems
  • Solid bronze wedge ensures tight shut-off and long service life
  • Sweat connection enables secure soldered installation on copper pipe

3-Inch Bronze Gate Valve

This Milwaukee Valve 149 gate valve is built for controlling flow in gas, oil and water lines. The solid bronze wedge and bronze seat provide a tight shut-off in residential and light-commercial plumbing systems. It is intended for installers who need a traditional rising-stem valve with sweat connections.

Bronze Construction and Sweat Ends

The body, bonnet, stem, wedge, seat and seal are all bronze for corrosion resistance across the listed media. A screw-in bonnet allows the stem packing to be serviced without removing the valve from the line. Sweat ends on a 3-inch line demand clean copper tube, flux and proper torch technique for a leak-free joint.

200 psi Cold Working Pressure

The valve is rated for 200 psi maximum operating pressure and 125 psi saturated steam. With a Cv of 536 it passes high volume with minimal pressure drop. Buyers who need a higher pressure class, flanged ends or a non-rising stem for buried service cannot use this model.
