Illinois 0036052 Valve

The Illinois 0036052 Valve, technically identified as the 5MGHAP series, is a heavy-duty 1" angle pattern radiator supply component designed for high-performance steam and hydronic heating systems. Engineered for the demands of professional contractors, this angle radiator valve features a rugged bronze body and high-capacity 1 NPT threaded connections, making it a reliable choice for maintaining system integrity in both residential and commercial buildings. With a maximum operating pressure of 65 psi and a condensate capacity reaching 820 pounds per hour, the 5MGH series is optimized for removing air and non-condensable gases while ensuring a tight shut-off in the presence of steam. Its thermostatic design incorporates a duplex phosphor bronze diaphragm, specifically tuned for sensitivity within a 3°F range, ensuring precise thermal response and long-term durability in high-vacuum or fluctuating pressure environments.

• Enhanced System Efficiency: Features a thermostatic steam trap design that effectively purges air and non-condensable gases to prevent cold spots in radiator sections.
• Field-Serviceable Design: Both the hardened stainless steel valve and the valve seat are fully replaceable, allowing for rapid maintenance without full pipe disassembly.
• Robust Material Composition: Built with a heavy-duty bronze body to withstand the mechanical strains of 1-inch piping installations and high-temperature steam cycles.
• Superior Sealing: The 1" angle 5MGHAP configuration provides a positive "on" and "off" control, essential for balancing single-pipe or two-pipe steam systems.

Is this valve compatible with vacuum heating systems?
Yes, the Illinois 0036052 is specifically designed to perform under high-vacuum conditions, making it ideal for standard vacuum and vapor heating system configurations.

What is the primary difference between the 5MGH and standard radiator valves?
The 5MGH is a thermostatic radiator steam trap. Unlike a standard manual supply valve, it uses a diaphragm to automatically manage condensate and air removal while preventing steam from entering the return lines.

Can I use this for both hot water and steam?
While primarily engineered for steam applications due to its thermostatic trap properties, the rugged construction and NPT connections allow for integration into various hydronic heating environments, provided the pressure ratings are observed.
