Product Description
The PITCO pp10946 is a 3/8-inch brass needle valve designed to control water flow in commercial foodservice equipment. Needle valves provide precise flow regulation by using a tapered needle-and-seat mechanism, making them well suited for applications where accurate shutoff or throttling is required. This valve is manufactured from brass, which offers corrosion resistance and durability in wet service environments. It is a replacement part intended for use in Pitco commercial appliance systems and is typically installed by qualified service technicians working on commercial kitchen equipment.
This valve is used in commercial foodservice settings where controlled water flow is critical to equipment operation. Typical applications include fryers, steam equipment, and other Pitco commercial appliances that require a reliable water control point. The 3/8-inch port size fits standard water supply lines found in many commercial kitchen installations. Service technicians performing routine maintenance or repair on Pitco equipment will find this a direct replacement for the original component.
