Watts Fig 3 1-1/4 Gate Valve Threaded 1-1/4 Inch

Product Description

The WATTS FIG 3 1-1/4 is a threaded gate valve designed for manual on/off flow control in piping systems. Gate valves provide full-bore, unobstructed flow when open and a positive shutoff when closed, making them a standard choice for isolation service in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial applications. The threaded end connections allow for straightforward installation into standard NPT-threaded pipe without the need for flanges or specialized fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of valve in both new construction and retrofit service work.

This gate valve is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems where periodic isolation of a line is required. Common install scenarios include water supply mains, branch shutoffs, and mechanical room piping. The threaded configuration makes it a practical choice for copper, steel, or iron pipe systems where NPT threading is already present. It is not intended for throttling or flow-regulation duty, as partial-open operation can accelerate disc and seat wear in gate valve designs.

Key Features

• Full-bore gate valve design provides minimal flow restriction when fully open
• Threaded NPT end connections for direct installation into standard pipe systems
• Manual handwheel operation for reliable isolation service
• Compact and lightweight construction at 1.19 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation gate valve for standard NPT-threaded plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any valve. Use thread sealant tape or pipe compound rated for the service fluid on all threaded joints. Gate valves should be installed in the fully open or fully closed position only and are not suitable for throttling service.
