1/2" Globe Valve for Fluid Control

The Milwaukee Valve UP502 is a 1/2 inch globe valve designed to regulate fluid flow in residential or light commercial plumbing systems. Its bronze body and brass stem suit potable water lines where low-lead materials are required. Installers who need a reliable shut-off or throttling point for hot or cold water will find the hand-wheel operation straightforward.

FNPT Threaded Connections Simplify Installation

The valve uses female National Pipe Thread connections on both inlet and outlet, so it threads directly onto standard 1/2 inch male pipe ends without adapters. A screw-in bonnet allows the stem assembly to be serviced without removing the valve body from the line. The compact 2 5/16 inch face-to-face length leaves more room in tight wall cavities or mechanical rooms.

Rated for 300 psi at 200 °F

The bronze construction handles a maximum fluid pressure of 300 psi and a maximum fluid temperature of 200 degrees Fahrenheit, covering typical hot-water distribution temperatures. Steam and compressed air service are not rated, so the valve should be limited to liquid applications. The rising-stem design gives a clear visual indication of valve position during operation.
