Milwaukee Valve 570 1/2" Globe Valve Bronze FNPT 400 psi

1/2" Bronze Globe Valve

The Milwaukee Valve 570 is a 1/2-inch bronze globe valve with FNPT threaded connections on both ends. It is built for fluid and steam service in residential or light commercial plumbing systems. The rising stem and hand-wheel operator give clear visual indication of the valve position. This unit suits installers who need a compact shut-off or throttling device rated for 400 psi fluid pressure.

FNPT Threaded Integration

The valve joins directly to 1/2-inch female NPT pipe ends without adapters or solder joints. Its 2 7/16-inch face-to-face length fits tight piping runs while the 4 5/8-inch center-to-top clearance allows hand-wheel operation in confined spaces. Bronze construction resists corrosion from water and steam, freeing the installer from specifying dielectric unions or extra protective coatings. The Class 200 rating matches standard plumbing pressure requirements.

Sustained High-Temperature Operation

Under continuous steam service the valve handles up to 200 psi saturated steam pressure at temperatures reaching 550 degrees Fahrenheit. The bronze stem and body maintain sealing integrity through repeated thermal cycles without the degradation seen in lower-grade alloys. The rising stem design keeps threads out of the media flow, reducing wear during frequent modulation. Buyers needing higher steam pressures or larger pipe diameters will need a different valve class.
