Arrowhead Brass Plumbing 220LF Boiler Drain 3/4 Inch Fpt

Product Description

The ARROWHEAD BRASS PLUMBING 220LF is a 3/4-inch Female Pipe Thread (FPT) boiler drain valve constructed from red brass and certified lead free. Boiler drain valves are quarter-turn or sillcock-style valves used to drain water from heating systems, water heaters, and associated piping. The red brass construction provides resistance to dezincification and corrosion in potable and hydronic water systems. The lead-free designation meets current federal and state requirements for fixtures and fittings used in systems conveying drinking water. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this valve as a service port on boilers, water heaters, and low-point drains in hydronic heating loops.

The 220LF is suited for residential and light commercial hydronic heating systems, hot water heater installations, and general plumbing drain applications where a reliable, low-point drain point is required. The 3/4-inch FPT inlet threads onto male-threaded pipe or fittings, making it compatible with standard iron pipe size threaded connections. This valve is packaged in quantities of 12 units per package, making it practical for plumbing contractors stocking service vans or supply rooms.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the system before removing or installing any drain valve. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before hand-tightening and wrench-finishing the connection. Do not overtighten, as red brass fittings can crack if excessive force is applied.
