Eaton W20332 Brass Drain Cock Shutoff Valve 1/4 in

Product Description

The EATON W20332 is a brass drain cock shutoff valve designed for manual flow adjustment in low-pressure plumbing and fluid systems. Despite the raw product title referencing steel, the supplier attribute data confirms a brass body construction, which offers corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. Rated to a maximum of 30 psi, this valve is suited for draining or isolating fluid lines via a 1/4 inch threaded connection. It is a compact, single-piece valve commonly installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians in residential and light commercial applications.

This drain cock is used in applications where periodic draining or flow shutoff is required on small-diameter lines. Typical install scenarios include boiler drain points, water heater service ports, air compressor tank drains, and low-pressure hydronic system drain legs. Its 1/4 inch thread size fits standard fittings used in plumbing and mechanical system drain connections.
