Nibco NL1J005 Gate Valve 3/8 Inch Threaded Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NL1J005 is a non-rising stem gate valve designed for threaded pipe installations in plumbing, HVAC, and light industrial systems. Built from bronze with a solid wedge disc and screw-in bonnet, it provides reliable full-bore shutoff in 3/8 inch pipe lines. The non-rising stem design keeps the actuating stem within the valve body during operation, making it well suited for installations with limited overhead clearance. Rated at 150 pressure class, this valve is a standard choice for licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors working on water supply, hydronic, or general-service piping systems.

This valve is intended for 3/8 inch threaded pipe connections in residential and light commercial applications. Typical installation scenarios include branch shutoffs, equipment isolation, and service connections in water supply and hydronic heating systems. The bronze body offers good corrosion resistance for potable water and low-pressure steam or hot-water service. Its compact form factor fits tight spaces where a non-rising stem configuration is preferred or required by the installation layout.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the supply line and drain the system before installing or replacing the valve. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on all NPT connections and verify joint integrity before returning the system to service. Do not exceed the rated pressure class during operation.
