Matco-norca Fig 3S 3/4 Gate Valve Sweat Lead Free

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA FIG 3S 3/4 is a lead-free sweat-end gate valve designed for shutoff service in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. Gate valves provide full-bore flow when open and positive shutoff when closed, making them a standard choice for isolation applications on water supply lines. The sweat connection style requires soldering to copper pipe, which is a common installation method for licensed plumbers working on potable water systems. The lead-free construction meets regulatory requirements for use on drinking water lines.

This gate valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a reliable inline shutoff is needed on a copper water supply system. Typical applications include main line isolation, branch line service valves, and equipment supply shutoffs. The sweat-end configuration makes it compatible with standard copper tubing using a soldered joint. It is installed by licensed plumbers following local plumbing codes and is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit work.

Key Features

• Lead-free construction meets Safe Drinking Water Act requirements for potable water applications
• Sweat-end connections designed for soldering to standard copper pipe
• Full-bore gate design allows unrestricted flow when fully open
• Positive shutoff suitable for isolation and service valve duty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for residential and light commercial copper plumbing systems requiring lead-free sweat-end shutoff valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code or local authority having jurisdiction. Shut off and drain the water supply before cutting into any existing line. Use appropriate flux and lead-free solder when making sweat connections, and allow the joint to cool fully before pressurizing the system. Do not overtighten the packing nut or apply excessive heat to the valve body during soldering.
