Built with a brass body, this valve connects via a 1\/4-18 NPTF male thread and carries a maximum working pressure of 150 psi. The NPTF thread form provides a dry-seal connection without relying solely on thread sealant, reducing the risk of weep leaks in both gas and liquid service. Weighing just 0.1054 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight component suited for tight plumbing runs. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this type of drain cock as a service valve, blow-down port, or system drain point in residential and light commercial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drain cock is appropriate for use in pressurized water, air, and compatible fluid piping systems where a manual shutoff and drain point is required. The 1\/4-18 NPTF thread size fits standard quarter-inch pipe connections commonly found on boilers, air compressors, hydronic heating circuits, and similar equipment. Its brass construction resists corrosion in water service environments, making it a dependable choice for long-term installations in mechanical rooms and utility spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass body construction for corrosion resistance in water and compatible fluid service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4-18 NPTF male thread for a dry-seal, leak-resistant connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e150 psi maximum working pressure rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated for operation down to -65 degrees F minimum working temperature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight at 0.1054 pounds for use in tight piping configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drain cock for residential and light commercial piping systems utilizing 1\/4-18 NPTF male pipe thread connections rated up to 150 psi.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified mechanical technician in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC requirements. Shut off system pressure and depressurize the line before removing or installing any drain cock valve. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPTF threads before installation to ensure a complete seal. Do not exceed the 150 psi rated working pressure for this valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: NPTF Male Pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4-18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Working Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -65 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.1054 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PARKER\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: DC603-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PARKER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51541603615026,"sku":"DC603-4","price":21.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/01202c9d30f7bba09cd2736372a6bb87_299d200b-02ee-4c33-b854-f66bca8f9aa6.jpg?v=1785880417","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/parker-dc603-4-brass-drain-cock-shutoff-valve-nptf","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
