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.

Key Benefits
  • 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.
