Nibco NL2I006 Gate Valve 1/2 Inch Threaded Bronze 300 Psi

Product Description

The NIBCO NL2I006 is a non-rising stem gate valve designed for isolation service in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. Built with a bronze body and a union bonnet, the valve handles a 1/2-inch threaded pipe connection and is rated to a 300 PSI pressure class. The alloy solid wedge disc provides reliable shutoff and long service life in both hot and cold water applications. This valve is installed by licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors wherever a compact, full-bore shutoff is needed in a threaded bronze piping system.

Typical applications include residential and light commercial plumbing, hydronic heating systems, and general water distribution where threaded bronze valves are specified. The non-rising stem design keeps the installed height fixed during operation, making it well suited for tight spaces such as mechanical rooms, utility closets, and equipment connections where vertical clearance is limited. The union bonnet allows the internal components to be removed and serviced without pulling the valve body from the line.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem keeps overall height constant during open and close cycles
• Union bonnet design allows in-line maintenance without removing the valve body
• Alloy solid wedge disc delivers positive shutoff under rated pressure conditions
• Bronze body resists corrosion in potable water and hydronic applications
• Threaded end connections suit standard NPT piping assemblies
• 300 PSI pressure class supports a wide range of commercial and residential system pressures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for 1/2-inch threaded bronze piping systems rated to 300 PSI pressure class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system before installing or servicing the valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads per standard practice; do not overtighten, as bronze fittings can crack under excessive torque. The union bonnet feature allows disc and stem service with the body remaining in line, reducing downtime during maintenance.
