Bk Mueller 102-334HC Brass Hose Bibb 0.75 in 125 Psi

Product Description

The BK MUELLER 102-334HC is a brass hose bibb stop valve designed to control water flow at outdoor hose connections and utility supply points. Built with a brass body and zinc loose-key handle, this valve connects via male NPT (MNPT) on the supply side and garden hose thread (GHT) on the outlet side. It carries a maximum working pressure rating of 125 psi WOG, making it suitable for standard residential and light commercial water supply systems. The NSF 61 compliant construction confirms it meets health-effects standards for contact with potable water. Plumbers and pipefitters install this valve as a service stop on exterior walls, utility connections, and irrigation supply lines.

This hose bibb is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a reliable shutoff is needed at an outdoor or utility hose outlet. Typical installations include exterior wall supply points, laundry utility connections, and ground-level irrigation feeds. The MNPT x GHT end connection configuration allows direct threaded installation into standard pipe fittings with a garden hose outlet. The loose-key handle design limits unauthorized use, a common requirement in commercial and multi-tenant residential settings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the main water supply and depressurize the line before beginning work. Apply thread sealant tape or compound to the MNPT threads before making up connections; hand-tighten then wrench-tighten to avoid over-torquing the brass fittings. Verify there are no leaks at operating pressure before closing up the wall or enclosure.
