Nibco NJ1M008 Gate Valve 3/4 Inch Soldered Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NJ1M008 is a rising stem gate valve designed for soldered-end copper pipe installations in commercial and residential plumbing systems. Built with a bronze body and solid wedge disc, this valve provides reliable full-bore shutoff with minimal flow restriction when fully open. The bolted bonnet construction adds mechanical integrity for sustained service. A cast iron wheel handle gives technicians a firm grip for manual operation. Rated to a maximum working temperature of 450 degrees F and conforming to MSS SP-70 standards, the NJ1M008 suits a wide range of hot and cold water, hydronic, and general service plumbing applications.

This gate valve is sized for 3/4 inch copper pipe with soldered end connections, making it a standard choice for branch line isolation, zone shutoff, and general plumbing service in residential and light commercial buildings. The rising stem design provides a clear visual indication of valve position — when the stem is extended, the valve is open. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in hydronic heating systems, potable water distribution lines, and general service piping where a dependable full-port isolation valve is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before soldering the valve into the line; excessive heat applied after assembly can damage internal seals. Allow the joint to cool fully before pressurizing the system. Ensure the valve is installed in the correct flow orientation as marked, and verify no residual flux remains on internal surfaces after soldering.
