Valve body and media

The Milwaukee Valve 1153 is a 3/8-inch gate valve with a bronze body, bonnet, stem, wedge and seat. It handles gas, oil and water through female NPT connections and is rated for 400 psi operating pressure and 200 psi steam pressure. A rising stem and hand-wheel provide manual control.

Sustained pressure performance

Under continuous service the solid bronze wedge and bronze seal maintain a tight shut-off at the rated 400 psi operating pressure. The union bonnet keeps the packing accessible so leakage can be corrected without removing the valve from the line. The Cv of 10.7 remains stable as long as the media stays within the specified pressure and temperature limits.

Installation and common issues

Female NPT threads allow direct connection to matching male pipe ends using standard thread sealant. The rising stem requires enough clearance above the hand-wheel for full travel. Overtightening the packing nut can bind the stem, while insufficient sealant on the NPT joints is the usual cause of weeping at start-up.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the 1153 gate valve produce when it runs all day?

The valve has no moving electrical parts, so it generates no heat or noise of its own; any temperature rise comes only from the fluid passing through it.

What piping must I already have to install the 3/8" FNPT connection?

You need a 3/8 inch male NPT thread on the pipe or fitting you are connecting to, plus thread sealant or tape rated for up to 400 psi water, oil or gas service.

Will the 1153 gate valve work with older bronze fittings already in my system?

Yes, its bronze body, bronze wedge and bronze seats are compatible with existing bronze or brass NPT components, and the 10.7 Cv flow coefficient matches typical 3/8 inch gate valves.
