It features a 3\/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) inlet, a 1\/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection, and a 3\/4 inch hose thread outlet for attaching a standard garden or drain hose. The cast iron handle provides a secure grip for operation. Pipe threads conform to ANSI B1.20.1 and hose threads conform to ANSI B1.20.7, ensuring dimensional compatibility with standard-spec fittings. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians use this valve to drain boilers, water heaters, and hydronic system piping during service or winterization.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis boiler drain valve is suited for installation on residential hot water boilers, hydronic heating systems, and water distribution piping where a drain point is required. The dual-thread configuration — MPT inlet with a hose thread outlet — allows direct hose attachment for controlled drainage to a floor drain or exterior discharge point. It is appropriate for both new installation and replacement service work on standard iron or steel pipe systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch male pipe thread (MPT) inlet compliant with ANSI B1.20.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) connection for inline installation flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch hose thread outlet compliant with ANSI B1.20.7 for standard hose attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast iron handle for positive shutoff operation without tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact body measuring 3.25 inches in length for tight installation spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation boiler drain valve for residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic heating systems using standard 3\/4 inch MPT pipe connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
