Nibco NL34002 Bronze Globe Valve 1/8 Inch Threaded 300 Psi

Product Description

The NIBCO NL34002 is a bronze integral globe valve designed for precise flow control in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. It features threaded end connections sized for 1/8 inch pipe and a PTFE disc seat for reliable shutoff across a broad range of service media. The union bonnet design allows internal access without removing the valve from the line, simplifying maintenance. Rated at 300 psi WOG and 150 psi WSP at Class 150, this valve suits both water and steam applications in commercial and light industrial environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

The NL34002 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing systems, steam distribution lines, and hydronic heating applications where a compact, reliable globe valve is required at small-diameter pipe connections. The 1/8 inch threaded end configuration makes it a practical fit for instrument takeoffs, bypass lines, gauge connections, and other low-flow service points. Its bronze construction resists corrosion in water and steam service, making it a long-service-life choice in wet mechanical environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads per standard practice, taking care not to overtighten on bronze-threaded connections. Confirm system pressure and temperature do not exceed the rated limits of the valve before returning the line to service.
