Bronze Y-pattern check valve
The Milwaukee Valve 1509Y is a 1-inch bronze swing check valve with a Y-pattern body and sweat-to-sweat connections. It provides full flow in horizontal or vertical mounting orientations and is rated for water pressures up to 300 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
Temperature and pressure limits
The valve operates continuously from minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Steam service is limited to 150 psi WSP while the cracking pressure is 0.5 psi, allowing the disc to open with minimal upstream pressure.
Flow capacity decides suitability
The published flow coefficient is 31 gpm, which determines whether the valve meets the system demand without excessive pressure drop. Builders requiring a higher flow rate will need a larger valve body.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the available versions or capacities of the 1509Y check valve?
The 1509Y is offered in a single 1 inch size with a 4.25 inch overall length, so there are no alternative versions or capacities to select from.
What does the 31 gpm flow rating mean once the valve is installed in a real plumbing system?
The 31 gpm rating indicates the maximum water flow the valve can pass when fully open, so actual flow will depend on your supply pressure and piping layout.
What connection standard does the Sweat x Sweat interface use, and what pressure does it cap in practice?
The Sweat x Sweat ends are soldered to copper tubing and the valve handles up to 300 psi water pressure at 150 degrees F and 150 psi steam pressure.
