GH-5016 Brass boiler drain valve

A brass boiler drain valve is a durable, corrosion-resistant component designed for safely draining water or releasing pressure from boilers, water heaters, or hydronic heating systems. Constructed from high-quality brass, it offers excellent thermal conductivity and resilience to high temperatures and pressures, making it ideal for both residential and industrial applications. The valve typically features a threaded connection for secure installation and a hand-operated lever or knob for easy operation. Its robust stem mechanism, often paired with a rubber or silicone seal, ensures leak-proof performance over repeated use. Common applications include routine system maintenance, emergency pressure relief, winterization of plumbing systems, or flushing sediment buildup. Many models include a hose adapter for controlled water diversion. Brass construction resists rust and mineral deposits, ensuring long-term reliability even in harsh environments. Regular inspection and lubrication of the valve stem are recommended to maintain optimal functionality.
