Bronze swing check valve for residential plumbing
The Milwaukee Valve 509Y is a 1 1/4" bronze Y-pattern check valve with FNPT threaded connections on both ends. It is designed for horizontal or vertical installation in water and steam lines where back-flow prevention is required.
Threaded FNPT ends simplify pipe fitting
The female NPT threads allow direct connection to standard 1 1/4" male pipe nipples without soldering or flanges. Ensure the arrow on the body matches the flow direction and provide enough straight pipe run so turbulence does not prevent the disc from seating fully.
Rated for 200 psi water at 150°F and 125 psi steam
The bronze body and seat handle water pressure up to 200 psi at 150°F and saturated steam up to 125 psi. Temperature limits extend from -20°F to 425°F, so the valve is not suited for cryogenic fluids or super-heated steam systems beyond these boundaries.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the 509Y is opening at the .5 psi cracking pressure after installation?
Apply flow in the direction of the arrow and watch for movement at very low head; the disc should lift once pressure exceeds .5 psi, allowing up to 54 gpm through the bronze seat.
What comes with the 509Y and what must I supply?
The valve body with FNPT x FNPT threads is included; you must provide 1 1/4 inch NPT pipe nipples, thread sealant and any mounting brackets or supports.
Which pressure rating should I select for a 150 Degrees F water line?
Choose the 200 psi @ 150 Degrees F water rating; the same valve also carries a 125 psi WSP steam rating and operates from -20 Degrees F to 425 Degrees F.
