Bronze Rising Stem Gate Valve | 208B Series | FNPT x FNPT | 125 PSI WSP / 200 PSI WOG
Bronze Rising Stem Gate Valve | 208B Series | FNPT x FNPT | 125 PSI WSP / 200 PSI WOG
The RWV 208B Series Bronze Gate Valve provides precise flow control and reliable shutoff for potable water, HVAC, and hydronic systems. Featuring a rising stem design, this valve offers a clear visual indication of open and closed positions while minimizing seat wear and ensuring full, unobstructed flow in the open state.
Built from ASTM B62 bronze with DZR (Dezincification-Resistant) brass trim, the 208B delivers exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term mechanical strength. The FNPT x FNPT threaded ends comply with ASME B1.20.1 for a precise, leak-free connection across standard piping systems.
