1/2" Bronze Y Swing Check Valve
The Milwaukee Valve 515Y is a 1/2 inch bronze check valve with a Y-pattern swing design. It uses FNPT x FNPT connections and is rated for 300 psi water pressure at 150 degrees F and 150 psi steam pressure. The valve operates between -20 and 425 degrees F with a cracking pressure of .5 psi and a flow capacity of 10 gpm.
Threaded FNPT installation suits standard piping
The valve installs directly onto 1/2 inch female NPT threads in either horizontal or vertical orientation. Full-flow Y-pattern design reduces pressure drop and debris buildup. Bronze-on-bronze seating requires clean threads and proper sealant to prevent leakage at the 300 psi rating. No special tools are needed beyond standard pipe wrenches.
Suits residential and light commercial water
Ideal for contractors and maintenance crews needing a compact bronze check valve for hot water, cold water, or low-pressure steam up to 150 psi WSP. Not suited for systems exceeding 425 degrees F or 300 psi water pressure. Buyers needing larger pipe sizes, different connection types, or higher pressure ratings should look at other valve configurations.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 515Y valve is working after installation?
Observe flow in the correct direction through the FNPT connections; the bronze swing disc should open at 0.5 psi cracking pressure and close tightly against reverse flow up to 300 psi water pressure at 150°F or 150 psi steam.
What comes with the 515Y valve and what must I supply?
The valve body with FNPT x FNPT ends is included; you must provide 1/2 inch NPT pipe or fittings, thread sealant and any mounting hardware for horizontal or vertical orientation.
Which version of the 515Y should I choose for my system pressure and temperature?
Select this 1/2 inch bronze Y swing check rated 300 psi water at 150°F and 150 psi steam with a -20°F to 425°F range; it delivers 10 gpm full flow for compatible applications.
