Watts Fig. 3-1in Threaded Gate Valve 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The WATTS FIG. 3-1in is a threaded gate valve designed for flow isolation in plumbing and mechanical piping systems. Gate valves of this type use a rising or non-rising stem with a wedge gate element to provide full-bore shutoff with minimal flow restriction when open. This valve features a 1/2-inch connection size and threaded end connections for straightforward installation into existing threaded pipe assemblies. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install gate valves like this one in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general-service piping where infrequent on/off operation is required.

This valve is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical applications. Typical installation scenarios include branch line isolation, equipment shutoff points, and service connections in water distribution or hydronic systems. The threaded end connections make it compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and fittings in 1/2-inch pipe size configurations.

Key Features

• 1/2-inch threaded end connections for NPT pipe assembly
• Gate-style design provides full-bore flow path when fully open
• Compact form factor suitable for tight installation spaces
• Lightweight construction at 0.61 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install gate valve for 1/2-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off upstream water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any valve. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all threaded connections. Gate valves are intended for full-open or full-closed service and should not be used for flow throttling.
