Brass Gate Valve 1-1/2 In NPT

This brass gate valve controls water flow in residential and light-commercial plumbing. It suits installers who need a straight-through shut-off with minimal pressure drop when fully open. The non-rising stem keeps the handle height constant, which helps in tight wall cavities.

Upgrade From Globe Or Ball Valves

Choose this gate valve when the line stays open for long periods and you want low turbulence. The jump is worth it if the system runs at or below 200 psi water pressure and you prefer a solid brass wedge over a ball or globe disc. It is not for steam lines above 125 psi or for applications that require throttling.

Install And Common Issues

Thread the female NPT ends onto matching male pipe threads with suitable sealant; the screw-in bonnet simplifies disassembly for seat cleaning. Over-tightening the wheel handle can strip the brass stem threads, and debris trapped under the solid wedge often causes slow leaks when closed.

Questions about this item

What pipe thread does the 1-1/2 in brass gate valve use for connection?

The valve connects with 1-1/2 in female NPT threads on the inlet side.

How should the screw-in bonnet be installed to avoid leaks?

Thread the bonnet into the brass body by hand, then tighten with a wrench on the bonnet flats; do not force the wheel handle or over-tighten the packing nut.

When should the cellulose fiber seal be inspected or replaced?

Check the seal during routine system maintenance or if water seeps past the closed wedge; replace the cellulose fiber seal when it shows compression set or cracking.
