Mueller MA236206E381UOL 6 in Flanged Gate Valve

Product Description

The MUELLER MA236206E381UOL is a 6-inch flanged ductile iron resilient wedge gate valve designed for potable water distribution and fire protection systems. It features an open-left operating direction and a full-port, non-rising stem configuration. The iron wedge is symmetrical and fully encapsulated in molded rubber, eliminating exposed iron and preserving sealing integrity over years of service. A triple O-ring stem seal and fusion bonded epoxy interior coating provide corrosion resistance and long-term reliability. Rated to 350 psig at a 125-pound pressure class, this valve is built for demanding waterworks environments and meets stringent municipal and industrial standards.

This valve is suited for use in potable water mains and fire protection applications in both municipal and commercial installations. The flanged end connections on both sides conform to ANSI and ASME B16.1 and B16.42 standards, making it compatible with standard ductile iron flanged piping systems. It is FM Approved and UL Listed under UL 262, making it appropriate for fire service applications where listed components are required. Water utilities, mechanical contractors, and fire protection installers working on buried or above-grade waterworks piping are the primary installers of this product.
