Aqualine BGV-150S Brass Gate Valve 1-1/2 in Sweat

Product Description

The AQUALINE BGV-150S is a 1-1/2 inch brass gate valve with a sweat (solder) end connection, designed for full-bore shutoff in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic systems. Gate valves of this type provide low-resistance flow when fully open, making them a standard choice for isolation service on water supply lines, heating loops, and mechanical room distribution piping. At 2.1 pounds, the BGV-150S is a solid, all-brass construction valve suited for copper pipe installations where a permanent, reliable shutoff point is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this fitting type.

The BGV-150S is intended for use on copper pipe systems requiring sweat-end isolation valves. Typical applications include domestic cold and hot water supply, hydronic heating distribution, and general plumbing rough-in work in residential and light commercial buildings. The sweat connection style integrates directly into standard copper tubing runs without the need for threaded adapters or compression fittings, keeping the installation clean and leak-resistant when properly soldered.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch sweat (solder cup) end connections for direct copper pipe integration
• Full-bore gate valve design provides minimal flow restriction when fully open
• All-brass body construction for corrosion resistance in potable water service
• Compact, 2.1 pound profile suitable for tight mechanical spaces
• Full open and full closed operation for reliable isolation service

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into existing piping. Clean and flux all copper mating surfaces thoroughly before soldering, and allow the joint to cool fully before restoring pressure. Gate valves are intended for full-open or full-closed service and should not be used for throttling flow.
