Milwaukee Valve UP1509 check valve
The Milwaukee Valve UP1509 is a 3/8 inch sweat bronze spring check valve designed for residential plumbing installations. It prevents reverse flow in hot or cold water lines and suits contractors or DIYers fitting low-lead components in confined spaces.
Cracking pressure 0.750 to 1.000 psi
This valve opens only when upstream pressure exceeds the 0.750 to 1.000 psi cracking range, so it will not seal against very low back-pressure. Verify that your system pressure stays above this threshold before specifying the part.
Sweat connections need clean copper
Sweat joints require fluxed, oxide-free copper tube and even heat to avoid leaks. The bronze body handles up to 200 degrees F and 300 psi at 150 degrees F, but overheating the joint can damage the internal seat. Install horizontally as marked to ensure proper spring return.

Questions about this item
What does the 6 gpm flow rating mean when the valve is installed in a plumbing system?
It indicates the maximum water flow the valve can pass under normal operating conditions without excessive pressure drop.
How does the sweat connection type affect installation and what pressure limit does it impose?
Sweat connections require soldering to copper tubing and the valve handles up to 300 psi water pressure at 150 °F.
What are the physical dimensions and orientation requirements for fitting this valve in a line?
The valve uses 3/8 inch sweat ends and must be mounted horizontally to operate correctly.
