Aqualine BGV-400 Brass Gate Valve 4 Inch Threaded

Product Description

The AQUALINE BGV-400 is a 4-inch threaded brass gate valve designed for full-bore shutoff in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial piping systems. Gate valves of this type use a rising or non-rising stem with a wedge gate element to provide a straight-line flow path and minimal pressure drop when fully open. The all-brass body resists corrosion in water service applications. At 12.88 pounds, this is a substantial valve suited for 4-inch threaded pipe connections where a reliable isolation point is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of valves in this size range.

The BGV-400 is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating distribution lines, irrigation mains, and pool or spa equipment rooms where a 4-inch threaded isolation valve is required. The NPT threaded end connections allow direct installation onto standard threaded steel, brass, or iron pipe without specialty fittings. This size is commonly found on main service entries, pump isolation points, and equipment bypass loops.

Key Features

• 4-inch NPT threaded connections for direct installation on standard pipe
• Brass body construction for corrosion resistance in water service
• Full-bore gate design provides minimal flow restriction when fully open
• Substantial 12.88-pound construction suited for permanent piping installations
• Order increment of 1 allows single-unit procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in plumbing, hydronic, and light industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the supply line completely before threading the valve into place. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads before assembly and tighten to the pipe manufacturer's recommended engagement depth. Gate valves in this size class should be installed in a position that allows full handwheel travel without obstruction.
