Eaton 6809 Brass Drain Cock Shutoff Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The EATON 6809 is a brass female pipe drain cock shutoff valve designed for flow adjustment and drainage applications in plumbing systems. Built with a brass body and a 1/4 inch female pipe thread connection, this valve allows technicians to open, close, or regulate flow for draining lines, equipment, or low-pressure systems. It carries a maximum working pressure of 30 psi, making it suited for low-pressure water and fluid service. The compact size and straightforward design allow for quick installation in tight spaces. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians commonly specify this type of drain cock for boiler drain points, equipment service ports, and general plumbing drain applications.

The EATON 6809 drain cock is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC installations where a reliable, low-pressure shutoff or drain point is required. Typical applications include water heater drain ports, boiler blowdown points, and branch line service valves. Its 1/4 inch female pipe thread allows direct connection to standard male-threaded fittings and pipe nipples. The flow adjustment function makes it useful wherever periodic draining or controlled fluid discharge is needed during system maintenance or seasonal service.
