Nibco NL2I00C Gate Valve 1-1/2 in Threaded Bronze

Product Description

The NIBCO NL2I00C is a non-rising stem gate valve designed for threaded pipe installations where reliable full-bore shutoff is required. Built with a bronze body and alloy solid wedge disc, this valve handles demanding service in plumbing, hydronic heating, and industrial fluid systems. The union bonnet design simplifies field maintenance without removing the valve from the line. Rated at pressure class 300, it is suited for higher-pressure water and fluid applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically specify this valve for commercial and industrial service where a durable threaded bronze gate valve is required.

This valve is sized for 1-1/2 inch pipe and connects via standard threaded end connections, making it compatible with common threaded pipe systems in both residential and commercial settings. Typical install scenarios include main shutoffs, branch isolation, and equipment isolation in mechanical rooms, boiler plants, and process piping. The non-rising stem keeps the overall installed height compact, an advantage in tight mechanical spaces where vertical clearance is limited.

Key Features

• Non-rising stem design minimizes vertical clearance requirements in confined spaces
• Bronze body provides corrosion resistance for water and general fluid service
• Alloy solid wedge disc delivers consistent full-bore shutoff and long service life
• Union bonnet allows in-line repacking and maintenance without pipe removal
• Pressure class 300 rating supports higher-pressure plumbing and hydronic applications
• Threaded end connections suit standard NPT pipe assemblies

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing any existing valve or making new connections. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not use the valve for throttling service — gate valves are intended for full-open or full-closed operation only.
