The Everbilt Lead Free Gate Valves feature a simple design that can quickly and reliably block or permit the flow of fluids, gases, or fumes. These valves contain a gate mechanism that when lifted opens the valve and when lowered closes it. They are easy to install thanks to threaded ends, and their small footprint makes these metal gate valves perfect for piping systems where space is tight. Metal gate valves are durable and can withstand high temperatures, so common applications include indoor residential and commercial plumbing systems as well as numerous outdoor applications.Lead free forged brass bodyFeatures a non-rising stem that enables operation in tight spacesMulti-turn handle operationLead free design is suitable for all potable water supply installationsFIP x FIPUse of pipe thread sealant or thread tape is recommended for installation.
