Eaton 6829 Brass Drain Cock Shutoff Valve 1/4 Nptf

Product Description

The EATON 6829 is a brass drain cock shutoff valve designed for flow adjustment in low-pressure pipe systems. Built with a 1/4-inch NPTF threaded connection and rated to a maximum of 30 psi, this valve provides reliable manual shutoff and drainage capability in a compact form. The brass body resists corrosion in typical service environments. At 0.17 pounds, it is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Plumbers and HVAC technicians use this fitting where a simple, dependable drain point or flow control is needed in a piped system.

The EATON 6829 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications where a 1/4-inch NPTF drain cock is required. Common uses include boiler drain points, equipment service valves, and low-pressure piping drain lines. The flow adjustment function makes it practical for controlled drainage rather than simple on/off service only. It is appropriate for systems operating within the 30 psi pressure limit.
