Nibco NL0Z008 Bronze Gate Valve 3/4 in Threaded 125

Product Description

The NIBCO NL0Z008 is a 3/4-inch threaded bronze gate valve designed for isolation service in plumbing, mechanical, and hydronic piping systems. It features a rising stem design with a solid wedge disc and a union bonnet, allowing the stem and disc assembly to be removed for inspection or service without cutting the pipe. The wheel handle provides manual on/off control. Rated at 125 pressure class and built to MSS SP-80 standards, this valve is suited for low-pressure water, oil, and gas applications in both residential and light commercial installations. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This valve is a standard choice for threaded piping systems where full-bore flow and positive shutoff are required. Common applications include domestic water supply isolation, boiler room piping, and hydronic heating circuits. The 3/4-inch pipe size is among the most common sizes in residential and light commercial construction. The bronze body resists corrosion in potable water and moderate-temperature fluid service, making it appropriate for a wide range of mechanical room and in-wall installations.
