Q: Are these valves approved for potable water? Also, is there any issues with using a male CPVC fitting into these valves?
Asked by crabjoe 11 years ago

Yes, it can be used with hot or cold potable water. A 1" male NPT CPVC fitting can be used with it. Not all areas of the US allow CPVC for supply plumbing inside a residence. Check with local authorities.
Q: I currently have a 1 1/2 inch gate valve on my pools PVC intake and return lines, and I would like to know if I can replace them with these?
Asked by Evan 11 years ago
Add your answer
Simple answer, yes. May not stay pretty as plastic in ths long term. Sent from my Galaxy S®III
Should work great for a swimming pool. About the only advantage of gate valves over ball valves is finer control of flow, but for a pool, the control with a ball valve should be more than enough. Should probably use use PVC unions on either side of the valve to ease installation and future service. You'll need a short schedule 80 nipple too. Saw it in half and cement each piece into one of the unions, then you'll have male/female unions; male ends go into the valve. Schedule 40 male adapters can be used in some cases if the geometry allows, but if the valve needs service or replacement, you'll have to saw the pipes. Better to use unions at the outset. Be warned than the threads on unions are not standardized, and different brands may have different threads. All unions should be the same brand and model, and buy a couple of spares. You can buy union ball valves too. They're more compact, but pricey.
Q: Are these approved for gas?
Asked by Gus 13 years ago

Yes Sent from my iPhone
In general this type (brass ball) valve can be used. Most manufacturers will rate their product as WOG (water / oil / gas). 3/4: Pressure rating is 'generally' 600 - 750 psi, depending on style and material. Some providers list as having a blow-out proof stem. (w/ often dual Viton seals). IF using in and around other systems (water or oil) TAG or (preferably) PAINT (or rubber dip) the handle BLUE. Do NOT use Teflon tape. USE Teflon (or other )LIQUID - type pipe sealant. IF you gotta get something up and running (short term) this would be suitable for a connection for residential use. Check your building codes and/or local ordinances to be sure.
Yes, The letters WOG printed on the handle stands for Water,Oil,Gas so your good. Its also rated for 175 PSI if you were going to use it for compressed air.
yes, wog valves are approved for COMBUSTIBLE gas'if they have the CSA logo.
