Bronze swing check valve with sweat connections

Milwaukee Valve

Milwaukee Valve 1509 2-1/2" Bronze Swing Check Valve

SKU CH-TYQV-55NG0

Bronze swing check valve with sweat connections prevents backflow in horizontal lines up to 200 psi at 150 °F

  • Prevents backflow with inline swing mechanism
  • Bronze body resists corrosion in water systems
  • Sweat-to-sweat connections suit copper pipe installations
  • Operates reliably from -20 °F to 406 °F
  • Handles 200 psi at 150 °F working pressure

2-1/2" Bronze Swing Check Valve

This 2-1/2 inch bronze swing check valve prevents reverse flow in horizontal plumbing runs. The sweat-by-sweat connections suit copper tubing installations. Rated for 200 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit, it serves residential and light-commercial hot and cold water systems.

Pressure and temperature limits

The valve operates between -20 and 406 degrees Fahrenheit. Maximum working pressure is 200 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Cracking pressure falls between .500 and .750 psi, so very low-head circuits may not open the disc reliably. Horizontal mounting is required; vertical flow-up orientation is not supported.

Bronze disc-to-body seal

The sealing surfaces are both bronze, giving metal-to-metal contact rather than an elastomer seat. This withstands the full 406 degree temperature rating but allows minimal leakage at low differential pressures. Systems needing zero drip-tight closure at low pressure should evaluate this characteristic before specifying the valve.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the cracking-pressure range of .500 to .750 psi for this valve?

The valve opens once upstream pressure reaches between .500 and .750 psi; pick the lower end if you need flow to start with minimal head, or the higher end if you want a tighter seal against low-pressure backflow.

What does the 200 psi @ 150 Degrees F rating mean once the valve is installed?

It confirms the bronze body and swing mechanism can handle 200 psi water pressure continuously at 150 °F, which covers typical residential and light-commercial hot-water lines.

How does the sweat-by-sweat connection limit the valve in practice?

Sweat ends require copper tubing and soldering, so the joint is permanent and leak-free but cannot be disassembled without cutting the pipe.
