Bronze Disc Valve for 1 1/2 in FNPT Piping
This bronze butterfly disc valve is designed for residential and commercial plumbing installations requiring a 1 1/2 inch FNPT connection. It suits contractors and facility managers needing a reliable shut-off or balancing component rated for standard water service. The 316 stainless steel disc and FKM liner provide corrosion resistance across the specified temperature range.
Lever Handle and Listed Construction
The valve body is cast bronze with a lever handle for manual operation, allowing quick visual confirmation of open or closed position. It carries AGA, FM and UL listings, indicating compliance with recognised safety and performance standards for the intended service. FNPT threads enable direct assembly onto matching male pipe threads without additional adapters.
Pressure and Temperature Limits
Maximum working pressure is 175 psi and the operating temperature range extends from 30 to 275 degrees F. These boundaries define the practical envelope for water-based systems; applications exceeding either limit will require a different valve specification. The FKM liner material supports the upper temperature rating while maintaining seal integrity within the stated pressure class.

Questions about this item
What pipe size and thread type does the BB2-102 valve connect to?
The valve has a 1 1/2 inch FNPT female threaded end for direct connection to matching pipe.
What clearances are needed to mount the lever handle on this bronze valve?
The lever handle requires enough surrounding space to rotate a full quarter-turn from open to closed without striking adjacent fittings or walls.
What is the correct way to thread the valve onto pipe and which step is often missed?
Apply PTFE tape or pipe sealant to the male threads, hand-tighten the valve, then finish with a wrench on the valve body flats only — never wrench the lever or disc.
