The Homewerks brass quarter turn boiler drain is designed to drain water from a boiler and release any sediment that may have accumulated. The quarter-turn dual lever handle makes shut-off quick and easy. This boiler drain valve can also be used as a general-purpose hose end valve for external water service or internally for a washing machine hookup. This valve can be installed using either the 1/2 in. male iron pipe connection or 1/2 in. solder connection. The 3/4 in. MHT outlet fits standard garden hoses.
