Milwaukee Valve, 2 inch, Cast Iron, Solid Wedge, Gate Valve

This class 125 Milwaukee Valve 2885-M series iron gate valve has bronze-mounted seat rings, an outside screw and yoke, and flanged end connections for bolting to flanges. The cast-iron construction, bolted bonnet, and solid wedge gate provide compressive strength and resistance to wear. The bronze-mounted seat rings equip it for high pressure applications and help resist corrosion over time. The valve has an outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) rising stem, which visually signals when the valve is open by the extension of the screw out of the center of the manually operated cast-iron hand wheel. The 2-, 2-1/2-, and 2" models of this valve are made with the yoke integral with the bonnet while the 4" valves and larger have separate yokes that are bolted to their bonnet. The stem design and non-asbestos graphite internal packing also prevent the stem threads from coming into contact with flow to avoid corrosion, thereby extending the life of the valve. The valve’s maximum pressure is 200 pounds per square inch (gauge) (psig) for water, oil, and gas pressure (WOG) and 125 psig for saturated steam pressure. It has flanged end connections on both ends for bolting to compatible American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 125-lb. flanges. This class 125 valve meets Manufacturers Standardization Society (MSS) SP-70 standards and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B.16.1 standards for flanged valves for quality assurance. Class is a standard relating to tolerance, construction, dimension, and wall thickness, but it is not a direct measurement of maximum working pressure. The valve is appropriate for use in plumbing, heating, and building service piping systems.
