Mueller Industries 19072 Bronze Gate Valve 2 in Fnpt

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES 19072 is a 2-inch bronze gate valve with female NPT connections on both ends, designed for use in plumbing systems where reliable full-bore shutoff is required. The solid wedge disc provides positive sealing when fully closed and minimal flow restriction when fully open. Rated at 200 WOG (Water, Oil, Gas) and 125 WSP (Working Steam Pressure), this valve is suited for a range of commercial and residential service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve as an isolation point in water supply, heating, and general-service piping systems.

This gate valve is intended for plumbing applications where full-flow shutoff is needed rather than throttling. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow direct threaded installation into standard pipe runs. Bronze construction resists corrosion in both potable water and general-service fluid systems. At 2 inches pipe size, this valve is commonly found in main supply lines, mechanical rooms, and commercial plumbing distribution headers where durable isolation valves are required.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the applicable International Plumbing Code (IPC) or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the upstream water supply and relieve system pressure before removing any existing valve or fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before making up connections, and tighten to appropriate wrench-tight engagement without over-torquing bronze fittings. Gate valves are intended for full-open or full-closed service only and should not be used for flow throttling, as partial opening can cause disc and seat damage over time.
