Milwaukee Valve UP149 1 1/4 Gate Valve Bronze

SKU CH-7387-0FCWW

Bronze gate valve for water service with a 97 Cv rating and 300 psi working pressure

  • Bronze body resists corrosion in water systems
  • 300 psi pressure rating handles demanding installations
  • Rising brass stem provides clear visual position indication
  • Sweat connection enables secure copper pipe joining
  • Cv 97 delivers high flow capacity

Product identity

The Milwaukee Valve UP149 is a 1 1/4 inch bronze gate valve designed for water supply lines. It uses a solder sweat connection and a rising stem with a wheel handle for manual flow control.

Installation and common issues

The sweat connection requires copper tubing preparation and soldering skill to form a leak-free joint. Overheating the bronze body can damage the bronze seat and seal, while insufficient heat leaves voids that weep under pressure.

Pressure and flow limits

The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi with water media and offers a flow coefficient of 97. It carries no steam rating and no ANSI flange class, so it suits low-pressure plumbing rather than high-temperature or flanged piping systems.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the gate valve is operating correctly after soldering it into the line?

Open the wheel handle fully and confirm the rising stem lifts visibly; water should flow freely with minimal restriction through the 97 Cv bronze wedge.

What components come with the valve and what additional fittings are required for installation?

The valve ships as a complete bronze unit with brass rising stem, bronze solid wedge, bronze seat and seal, and wheel handle; you must supply solder and copper pipe for the sweat connections.

Which size and pressure rating should I select for a residential water supply line?

This model is a 1 1/4 inch sweat-end gate valve rated for 300 psi cold water service; choose it when those exact specifications match your piping design.
