Eaton 6892 Brass Drain Cock Shutoff Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The EATON 6892 is a brass ground plug drain cock shutoff valve designed for flow adjustment and system drainage in plumbing and fluid-handling applications. The valve features a 1/4-inch thread connection and is rated for a maximum working pressure of 30 psi. Its solid brass body provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve as a low-point drain or test port on water lines, air lines, and light-duty fluid systems where a compact, reliable shutoff and drain point is needed.

This drain cock is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing installations. Common applications include drain points on water heaters, boiler systems, air compressor tanks, irrigation lines, and other pressurized systems requiring periodic draining or pressure relief access. The compact form factor and standard 1/4-inch threaded connection make it a straightforward drop-in for existing drain port fittings on pipe assemblies and equipment manifolds.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the IPC. Shut off the water or fluid supply and relieve all system pressure before removing the existing fitting or installing this valve. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before installation to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not exceed the 30 psi maximum rated working pressure.
