Conbraco 26-305-01 Gauge C

The Conbraco 26-305-01 is a precision-engineered 1/2" Male NPT Brass Gauge Cock designed for reliable isolation in high-pressure steam, hydronic, and pneumatic systems. Built with a durable Satin Brass body, this compression-style tri-cock facilitates the safe maintenance or replacement of pressure gauges without requiring a full system shutdown. It features a robust soft metal seat and a professional-grade stuffing box to ensure a leak-proof seal under demanding conditions, including industrial boiler water level monitoring and expansion tank drainage.

Operating with a composite plastic wheel (Bakelite), this Conbraco gauge cock allows for fine-tuned flow control and "blow down" procedures to clear sediment from sensing lines. Rated for 250 PSI at 400°F, its rugged construction offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard service valves. For contractors and technicians, the 26-305-01 provides the essential reliability needed for live-system troubleshooting while meeting rigorous HVACR technical specifications.

• Live System Isolation: Enables gauge servicing or pressure measurement while the system remains pressurized, reducing downtime.
• High Temperature Resilience: Rated up to 400°F, making it suitable for steam boiler applications and hot water systems.
• Durable Sealing: Features a soft metal seat and advanced stuffing box design to prevent bypass and stem leaks.
• Corrosion Resistant: The satin brass finish ensures longevity in high-moisture environments typical of boiler rooms.

Is the 26-305-01 suitable for steam boilers?
Yes, this 1/2 inch gauge cock is frequently used as a try-cock or isolation valve on steam boilers and is rated for the pressures and temperatures of most low-to-medium pressure steam systems.

What is the purpose of the composition wheel?
The composite plastic wheel provides a cool-to-the-touch grip and precise manual actuation, allowing technicians to safely perform a gauge cock blow down to ensure clear pressure readings.

Can this valve be used for liquid storage tanks?
Absolutely. The Conbraco 26-305-01 is an ideal choice for draining expansion tanks or isolating level indicators on various liquid storage vessels.
