SKU CH-9NZ8-07FN2

A 1/2-inch solder gate valve in low-lead brass rated for 200 psi water service with a 17.6 Cv flow coefficient

  • Low-lead brass body meets safe-water standards
  • 200 psi pressure rating handles demanding plumbing systems
  • 6 Cv coefficient delivers strong flow capacity
  • Solder sweat connection creates permanent leak-free joints
  • Non-rising stem design saves space in tight installations

1/2" Gate Valve for Water Systems

This 1/2 inch gate valve controls water flow in residential and commercial plumbing installations. The low-lead brass construction meets safety requirements for potable water supply lines. It is designed for solder connection on copper piping systems.

Brass Body with Wheel Handle Operation

The valve body, bonnet, stem, wedge, seat and seal are all made from brass for corrosion resistance. A forged brass solid wedge provides a tight shut-off against the brass seats. The non-rising stem with screw-in bonnet keeps the handle height constant during operation. A wheel handle allows precise manual control of the flow.

Verify Sweat Connection and Pressure Rating

Confirm your piping uses 1/2 inch copper tube sized for sweat solder joints before ordering. The maximum operating pressure is 200 psi for water service only; steam service is not applicable. The flow coefficient Cv is 17.6 for system sizing calculations. Ensure local codes permit this valve type for the intended application.
