Midland Industries 46075 Brass Drain Cock 1/4 Inch Mip

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 46075 is a 1/4 inch MIP brass drain cock designed to drain or bleed low-pressure systems carrying air, water, or compatible fluids. The wing nut handle provides tool-free operation, making it well suited for periodic maintenance tasks in mechanical and plumbing systems. An internal seat design controls flow at the seat rather than the outlet, supporting reliable shutoff under normal service conditions. Rated to 150 psi and 250 degrees F, this drain cock handles typical low-pressure residential and light commercial service demands without issue. Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this fitting.

This drain cock is used in low-pressure air and water lines, boiler drain points, tank drain ports, and similar applications where a compact, manually operated valve is needed. Its small footprint makes it a practical choice in tight mechanical spaces. The brass body resists corrosion in water and many fluid service environments, and the 1/4 inch MIP thread connects directly to standard pipe or fitting threads of the same size.
