Bronze Gate Valve for Water Service

This Milwaukee Valve UP148 is a 3/8 inch bronze gate valve designed for water supply lines. It features NPT female connections and a rising stem with a wheel handle for manual flow control. The solid bronze wedge and bronze seats provide a tight seal in residential or light commercial plumbing installations.

Rated for 300 psi Working Pressure

The valve body is rated for a maximum operating pressure of 300 psi with water media, making it suitable for sustained municipal or well-system pressures. Its coefficient of volume (Cv) is 10.7, indicating the flow capacity through the fully open port. The screw-in bonnet and bronze construction resist corrosion during continuous service without degrading the seal surfaces.

Threaded NPT Installation with Rising Stem

Installation requires standard NPT threading onto 3/8 inch male pipe ends using appropriate sealant or tape. The rising stem design visually indicates valve position but requires vertical clearance above the handle for full operation. Over-tightening the screw-in bonnet during assembly or maintenance can damage the bronze threads and compromise the seal.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 3/8" bronze gate valve generate when it stays open all day?

The valve has no moving electrical parts, so it produces no measurable heat during continuous operation.

What piping must I already have to install the NPT female connection?

You need a matching 3/8" male NPT threaded pipe or fitting on each side to thread directly into the valve body.

Will the rising brass stem clear the handle on my older 3/8" bronze valve when both are piped in series?

The rising stem lifts inside the bonnet as the wheel turns, so it needs vertical clearance above the valve but does not interfere with adjacent inline components.
