Aqualine BGV-200S 2 Inch Sweat Brass Gate Valve

Product Description

The AQUALINE BGV-200S is a 2-inch sweat-connection brass gate valve designed for full-flow shutoff in plumbing and hydronic piping systems. Gate valves of this type use a rising-stem wedge design to provide a straight-through flow path with minimal pressure drop when fully open. The brass body construction resists corrosion in both hot and cold water service. At 3.16 pounds, this valve is sized for residential and light commercial installations where reliable manual shutoff is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of valve.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution lines, and general water service piping where a sweat-end (solder-joint) connection is specified. The 2-inch sweat connection is compatible with standard Type L and Type M copper tubing. Gate valves in this configuration are commonly installed on main supply lines, branch isolations, and equipment shutoffs where infrequent operation and full-bore flow are priorities.

Key Features

• 2-inch sweat (solder) end connections for direct copper tube installation
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in potable and hydronic water systems
• Full-bore gate design provides unrestricted flow path when fully open
• Rising-stem configuration gives a clear visual indication of valve position
• Compact valve weight of 3.16 pounds suits tight mechanical room installations

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water supply and drain the line before soldering. Use proper flux and lead-free solder where required by code for potable water service. Avoid applying excessive heat to the valve body during soldering to protect internal seals and packing.
