Nibco NJ0J00F Gate Valve 3in Soldered Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NJ0J00F is a 3-inch non-rising stem gate valve constructed with a bronze body and designed for soldered end connections. It features a solid wedge disc and a screw-in bonnet, providing a reliable shutoff in fluid piping systems. Rated at a 125 pressure class, this valve is suited for water distribution and related plumbing service lines. The wheel handle allows for manual open and close operation without vertical stem travel, keeping clearance requirements low in tight mechanical spaces. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This gate valve is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where a full-bore, low-restriction shutoff is required. The soldered end connection makes it compatible with copper pipe installations. Its non-rising stem design is particularly useful in applications with limited vertical clearance above the valve, such as in mechanical rooms, utility chases, or below-slab installations. The 125 pressure class rating fits standard domestic water service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line completely before soldering or removing any existing valve. Use appropriate flux and solder rated for potable water service where required. Allow the joint to cool fully before restoring system pressure.
