Bronze Gate Valve for Water Lines
The Milwaukee Valve UP149 is a bronze gate valve designed for water service with a nominal size of 3/4 inch. It features a sweat connection for copper piping, a rising brass stem and a solid bronze wedge. The valve operates up to 300 psi and carries a Cv of 32 for full-flow capacity. Wheel handle operation provides reliable manual control.
Verify Pipe Size and Pressure Rating
Confirm that the existing copper line matches the 3/4 inch sweat connection before ordering. Ensure the system operating pressure does not exceed 300 psi and that the media is water. The screw-in bonnet and bronze seat require standard soldering tools and flux for a leak-free joint.
Replaces Worn Bronze Gate Valves
This unit replaces an existing 3/4 inch bronze gate valve that leaks, seizes or shows seat erosion. The jump is worth it when the old valve no longer shuts off cleanly or when stem packing fails repeatedly. It is not for systems needing throttling control, non-water media or pressures above the rated limit.

Questions about this item
Does the UP149 gate valve include any fittings or flux for the sweat connection?
The valve body has sweat ends on both sides; copper pipe, solder and flux are not included and must be purchased separately.
Is the 300 psi rating on the UP149 suitable for a standard residential water supply?
Yes, typical household pressure is well below 300 psi, so the bronze body and bronze seat provide ample margin for normal cold-water service.
What does the Cv 32 figure mean for flow through this 3/4 inch valve?
A Cv of 32 indicates the valve delivers 32 US gallons per minute of water with a 1 psi pressure drop, so flow restriction is minimal when fully open.
