Nibco NL1T00C Gate Valve 1-1/2 in Threaded Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NL1T00C is a non-rising stem gate valve designed for 1-1/2 inch threaded pipe connections. Built from bronze with a solid wedge disc and union bonnet, this valve is suited for isolation service in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial piping systems. The 150 pressure class rating and wheel handle make it a reliable choice for shut-off applications where frequent operation is not required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this valve in systems where space above the valve is limited, making the non-rising stem design a practical advantage.

This gate valve is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems, hydronic heating installations, and general water service piping. The threaded end connection allows for straightforward installation into existing iron pipe size threaded systems without specialized tooling. Its bronze body resists corrosion in wet service environments, making it appropriate for potable water, low-pressure steam, and general fluid handling lines where a full-bore shutoff valve is required.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem design suits confined overhead spaces where stem travel would be obstructed
• Union bonnet allows for in-line repacking and maintenance without removing the valve from the line
• Solid wedge disc provides positive shutoff and full-bore flow when open
• Bronze body construction resists corrosion in water and steam service
• Threaded end connections compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch IPS threaded pipe
• 150 pressure class rating suitable for typical commercial and residential service conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 1-1/2 inch threaded pipe systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before installing or servicing this valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per standard trade practice. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as bronze fittings are subject to thread damage under excessive torque.
