Milwaukee Valve 115 Series Bronze Gate Features

• Made of bronze for higher strength and corrosion resistance than brass

• Non-rising stem stays fixed in place when gate is raised or lowered for low clearance use

• 200 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for water, oil, and gas pressure (WOG) and 125 psig for saturated steam pressure

• Solder end connections for semi-permanent connections to a piping system

• Top-mounted iron hand wheel for lowering and lifting the gate

About Milwaukee Valve 115 Series Bronze Gate

This class 125 Milwaukee Valve 115 series bronze gate valve has a non-rising stem and solder end connections on both ends. The bronze body, solid wedge gate, and threaded bonnet provide higher strength and resistance to corrosion than brass. The valve has a non-rising stem that stays fixed in place when the gate is raised or lowered for low clearance or underground use, and the graphite internal packing helps prevent the valve’s stem from leaking. The maximum pressure is 200 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for water, oil, and gas pressure (WOG) and 125 psig for saturated steam pressure. It has solder end connections on both ends for a semi-permanent connection to a piping system. Mounted on top of the valve, a manually operated malleable iron hand wheel activates the inside screw mechanism which lifts and lowers the gate to start and stop the flow between the connected pipes. This class 125 valve meets Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) SP-80 (with the exception of the 4-inch model, as this valve has a split wedge and bolted bonnet that does not meet MSS SP-80) standards for quality assurance. Class is a standard relating to tolerance, construction, dimension, and wall thickness, but it is not a direct measurement of maximum working pressure. The valve is appropriate for use in general service piping in plumbing and heating systems. Gate valves control flow in a piping system by lifting a gate out of the path of steam, fluids, or gases. They are designed to block or permit flow, as the vibrations and force of flow repeatedly striking a partly lowered gate can damage the gate and seats. To accommodate different flows and pressure requirements, gates come in four types: solid wedge (appropriate for almost all liquid service), flexible wedge (appropriate for steam service), split wedge (appropriate for normal temperature, non-condensing gas and liquid service, including corrosive service), and parallel disc (appropriate fo
