1/2 in Bronze Gate Valve

This 1/2 inch bronze gate valve controls water flow in residential and light-commercial plumbing systems. A solid bronze wedge and bronze seat provide a tight shut-off when the wheel handle is turned. The sweat connection suits copper pipe installations.

300 psi Rating and Non-Rising Stem

Rated for 300 psi maximum operating pressure, the valve handles typical municipal water supply conditions. The non-rising brass stem keeps the handle height constant, useful where vertical clearance is limited. Bronze bonnet and seal materials resist corrosion from water media.

17.6 Cv Flow Coefficient

A coefficient of volume of 17.6 indicates the flow capacity through the fully open valve, helping installers size the component for the required system demand. The screw-in bonnet style allows straightforward maintenance access. No additional accessories or software are bundled with this valve.

Questions about this item

How do I sweat-install the 1/2" bronze gate valve without leaking at the joint?

Clean the copper tube and valve socket, apply flux, heat evenly with a torch, and feed solder until it flows around the full circumference; the step often missed is heating the fitting body — not just the tube — so solder wets both surfaces.

Which internal parts of the UP115 gate valve typically need replacement after years of service?

The bronze wedge, bronze seat rings, and brass stem are the wear items; the screw-in bronze bonnet allows removal for lapping or replacing the wedge and seats without cutting the valve from the line.

At what pressure does the 300 psi rated gate valve reach its limit during sustained water service?

The published maximum operating pressure is 300 psi; sustained exposure at or above this rating will cause the bronze body and screw-in bonnet joint to become the first limiting factor.
