Bronze Y Swing Check Valve
The Milwaukee Valve 509Y is a 1-1/2 inch FNPT bronze swing check valve with a Y-pattern body. It allows full flow in horizontal or vertical mounting orientations. The valve handles water pressure up to 200 psi at 150 degrees Fahrenheit and steam pressure up to 125 psi WSP. Operating temperatures range from -20 to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Suited for bronze-compatible piping
This valve suits installations requiring a bronze seat and seal with a low cracking pressure of 0.5 psi. It delivers a flow capacity of 76 gpm for water systems. Buyers needing a different connection type, a higher pressure rating, or a non-bronze seat material should look at alternative valve designs.
Verify piping and media compatibility
Confirm the existing piping uses 1-1/2 inch FNPT threads before ordering. Ensure the system pressure and temperature stay within the rated limits for water or steam service. Check that the bronze body and seat are compatible with the specific fluid media in the application.

Questions about this item
What pipe size and thread type must my plumbing have to connect this 509Y valve?
The valve uses 1 1/2 inch FNPT connections on both ends, so your piping needs matching female National Pipe Taper threads.
Will the bronze seat and 0.5 psi cracking pressure work with my existing low-pressure gravity-fed system?
Yes, the bronze seat and .5 psi cracking pressure allow flow with very little head pressure, suitable for gravity-fed lines.
How can I verify the valve is sealing properly after installation?
Pressurise the line up to 200 psi at 150 degrees F; no leakage past the swing disc confirms the bronze seat is sealing.
