Milwaukee Valve UP1502 3/8" Globe Valve Bronze Sweat 300 psi
A 3/8" bronze globe valve with sweat connections rated for 300 psi fluid pressure and 200 °F maximum temperature
- Bronze body resists corrosion for long service life
- 300 psi rating handles demanding fluid-pressure applications
- Rising stem design gives clear visual indication of valve position
- 200 °F maximum fluid temperature suits hot-water systems
- Sweat connections create secure, leak-resistant joints
Globe valve for 3/8" sweat piping
The Milwaukee Valve UP1502 is a bronze globe valve with sweat connections sized for 3/8 inch pipe. It suits residential or light-commercial plumbing where a rising-stem, hand-wheel valve is preferred for throttling or positive shut-off.
Sweat connection limits on small-bore copper
The sweat-by-sweat ends require soldering onto copper tube, so installation demands a torch, flux and access to the joint; the valve is not rated for air or steam service, and the maximum fluid temperature is 200 degrees F.
300 psi fluid rating with compact 2-inch body
Rated for 300 psi fluid pressure, the valve handles typical municipal supply and pump pressures; its short 2-inch inlet-to-outlet length fits tight runs, but the hand wheel extends 3 3/16 inches above the inlet centre, so vertical clearance must be checked.

Questions about this item
Which size of the UP1502 globe valve matches my 3/8-inch piping?
The UP1502 is built for 3/8-inch pipe and has sweat-to-sweat connections, so it fits directly onto 3/8-inch copper tubing without adapters.
What does the 300 psi rating mean once the valve is installed in my water line?
The 300 psi rating is the maximum fluid pressure the bronze body and screw-in bonnet can handle at up to 200 degrees F; it is not rated for steam or compressed air.
How does the sweat connection affect installation compared with threaded or flanged valves?
Sweat ends require soldering to copper pipe, creating a permanent leak-free joint, but they cannot be disassembled like threaded or flanged connections.
