Bronze Gate Valve for Water Systems

The Milwaukee Valve UP148 is a bronze gate valve designed for water service in residential and commercial plumbing. It features a solid bronze wedge and bronze seat for reliable shut-off performance. The valve is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi and offers a flow coefficient of 97. Rising stem construction provides visual indication of the valve position during operation.

Threaded Installation with Rising Stem

The valve connects via 1 1/4 inch female NPT threads on both ends for direct integration into standard piping. A screw-in bronze bonnet secures the internal assembly and allows access for maintenance if required. The rising brass stem moves vertically with the wheel handle, so adequate vertical clearance above the valve is necessary for full operation. Ensure thread sealant compatible with bronze is used to prevent leaks at the joints.

Verify Pressure and Media Compatibility

Confirm the system operating pressure does not exceed the 300 psi rating for water service. This model is not rated for steam applications, so it must not be installed in steam lines. The bronze body, wedge, seat and seals are intended for water media; verify chemical compatibility with any treated water or additives in your specific system. Check that the existing piping uses matching NPT threads for a proper seal.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the valve is sealing correctly after installation?

After installation, slowly open the wheel handle and check for leaks at the NPT connections and bonnet joint; the rising stem will visibly lift as the solid bronze wedge retracts, confirming full opening.

What comes with the UP148 and what must I supply?

The valve ships as a complete unit with bronze body, rising brass stem, solid bronze wedge, wheel handle and screw-in bonnet; you must provide 1 1/4 in NPT pipe fittings and thread sealant for both connections.

Which pressure rating should I select for a 300 psi water line?

The UP148 is rated for 300 psi maximum operating pressure with water, matching your line requirement; its Cv of 97 indicates high flow capacity for this nominal size.
