Mueller Industries 19068 Bronze Gate Valve 3/4 in Fnpt

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 19068 is a 3/4-inch bronze gate valve designed for plumbing systems requiring reliable full-bore shutoff. Featuring female NPT connections on both ends, this valve accepts standard threaded pipe and fittings without adapters. Rated at 200 WOG (water, oil, gas) and 125 WSP (working steam pressure), it handles a broad range of service conditions common in residential and light commercial plumbing installations. The solid wedge disc design provides positive seating and minimizes turbulence in the fully open position, making it a dependable choice for isolation service. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this valve type.

This gate valve is suited for plumbing applications where full flow and low pressure drop are priorities. It is appropriate for water lines, light oil service, and gas lines where system pressure falls within the rated limits. The FNPT x FNPT end connections make it straightforward to install in threaded piping systems using standard pipe wrenches and thread sealant. It is commonly used in residential supply lines, commercial plumbing rough-in, and utility shutoff points where a durable bronze body is preferred over brass or cast iron alternatives.
