Nibco NJ1M006 Bronze Gate Valve 1/2 Inch Soldered

Product Description

The NIBCO NJ1M006 is a 1/2 inch bronze gate valve with a rising stem design, intended for use in plumbing, hydronic heating, and general fluid distribution systems. The rising stem provides a clear visual indication of whether the valve is open or closed, a practical advantage in mechanical rooms and tight installations. A bolted bonnet construction adds serviceability by allowing internal components to be accessed without removing the valve from the line. The solid wedge disc seats firmly to provide a positive shutoff. This valve is rated at 150 psi and connects via soldered end connections, making it a standard choice for copper pipe systems in residential and light commercial applications.

The NJ1M006 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating distribution, and domestic water systems where copper tubing is used throughout. The soldered end connection is compatible with standard copper pipe at the 1/2 inch size. This valve is typically installed by licensed plumbers during new construction, renovation, or system isolation work where a reliable full-port shutoff is required on a branch or main supply line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before soldering the valve into place. Allow the valve to cool completely after soldering before pressurizing the system, as heat can damage internal seals. The valve should be installed with the stem oriented to allow full travel without obstruction.
