Aqualine BGV-050 Brass Gate Valve 1/2 Inch Threaded

Product Description

The AQUALINE BGV-050 is a 1/2 inch threaded brass gate valve designed for flow isolation in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Gate valves provide full-bore flow when open and a positive shutoff when closed, making them a reliable choice for supply lines, branch shutoffs, and equipment isolation. The BGV-050 is constructed from brass, offering good resistance to corrosion in typical potable water and hydronic applications. At 0.6 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight fitting suited for installations where space and weight are considerations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of valve.

The BGV-050 is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a threaded 1/2 inch gate valve is required. Common applications include water supply shutoffs, irrigation system isolation, and branch line control in hydronic heating systems. The NPT threaded connection allows straightforward installation into standard pipe fittings without specialized tooling beyond pipe wrenches and thread sealant.

Key Features

• Brass construction for corrosion resistance in water and hydronic service
• 1/2 inch NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard pipe fittings
• Full-bore gate design minimizes flow restriction when fully open
• Lightweight at 0.6 pounds for easy handling during installation
• Positive shutoff for reliable flow isolation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 1/2 inch NPT threaded plumbing systems in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male NPT threads before assembly. Gate valves should not be used for throttling service and should be operated in the fully open or fully closed position only.
