Item Description
For sale is a NIBCO Model T-113 Industrial Bronze Gate Valve. Proudly made in the USA, this heavy-duty plumbing component features a solid bronze body casting, a reliable screw-in bonnet layout, and a rising stem connected to a solid wedge gate. Designed for full-flow operations with minimal pressure drops, it is manually operated using the original blue aluminum-stamped multi-lobed handwheel handle.

Application & Intended Industries:
Unlike globe valves meant for throttling, gate valves are engineered for strictly straight-line fluid isolation (fully open or fully closed service positions). This design provides a completely unobstructed fluid path, minimizing inline turbulence. It is highly utilized across the following primary industries:
- Hydronic Heating & Commercial HVAC: Ideal for main isolation lines on commercial boiler loops, radiant floor manifolds, cooling towers, and multi-zone water loops.
- Commercial Plumbing & Facility Maintenance: Commonly deployed as primary shutoff valves in multi-family residential complexes, facility mechanical rooms, and commercial water distribution lines.
- Industrial Process Piping & Compressed Air: Trusted for non-corrosive fluid systems, low-pressure condensate drainage lines, and main utility air distribution lines.
- Water Treatment & Irrigation Systems: Highly durable against heavy usage cycles on commercial well manifolds, fluid pump discharge pipelines, and filtration grid isolated links.
Condition Note:
This item is being sold in industrial surplus condition. It exhibits a natural aged bronze patina, minor surface oxidation, and typical workshop storage smudges as shown in the images. There is some wear to the paint on the handwheel as these were stored in a box and moved around. The internal wedge gate is complete, the female NPT mounting threads are structurally clean, and the rising stem moves up and down smoothly when the blue handwheel is turned.
