Anderson Metals 11198 Ground Plug Drain Cock 1/8 Npt

Product Description

The ANDERSON METALS 11198 is a ground plug drain cock shutoff valve designed for 1/8-inch pipe thread connections. This compact valve provides a reliable shutoff and drain point in low-pressure piping systems, allowing technicians to depressurize lines and drain fluid without disconnecting fittings. Rated to a maximum of 32 psi, the 11198 is suited for applications where a simple, threaded plug-style drain is required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly install this type of valve during system commissioning, maintenance, and seasonal service procedures.

This drain cock is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial piping systems where a 1/8-inch threaded drain or bleed point is needed. Typical installations include boiler drain points, compressed air lines, water supply branches, and HVAC condensate or refrigerant circuit service ports operating within the rated pressure limit. The 1/8-inch thread size suits small-diameter branch lines and service ports common in plumbing and mechanical systems.
