Tapco VP1712 Valley Bonnet Nut

Product Description

The TAPCO VP1712 is a valley bonnet nut designed for use in plumbing valve assemblies. A bonnet nut secures the bonnet to the valve body, maintaining a pressure-tight seal around the stem and packing. This type of hardware is a routine service and replacement component handled by licensed plumbers during valve repair or rebuild work. The VP1712 is intended as a replacement part that restores proper bonnet retention and sealing function in compatible valve configurations.

The TAPCO VP1712 is suited for plumbing valve maintenance applications where the original bonnet nut has worn, stripped, or otherwise failed. It is typically installed during valve servicing on water supply or distribution systems in residential and light commercial settings. A plumber replacing packing or rebuilding a valve body will encounter the bonnet nut as a standard component of that workflow.

Key Features

• Secures valve bonnet to body for a pressure-tight stem and packing seal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement bonnet nut for valley-type plumbing valve assemblies. Verify thread pitch and diameter against the existing valve body before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line completely before disassembling any valve components. Use the appropriate wrench size to seat the bonnet nut without over-tightening, which can crack the bonnet or distort packing. Inspect packing and stem condition before reassembly.
