Conbraco 26-504-01 Body Lever

The Conbraco 26-504-01 is a commercial-grade 1/2 inch Male NPT bronze compression cock designed for precision fluid control in industrial boiler and piping systems. Built with a rugged cast bronze body, this lever operated gauge cock features a PTFE soft seat for positive shut-off and graphite stem packing to maintain a leak-proof seal under high thermal stress. Rated for service up to 250 PSI at saturated steam temperatures, the 26-504-01 is commonly utilized as a water gauge valve or sampling cock in mechanical rooms. Its straight-through flow design minimizes pressure drop, while the quarter-turn lever handle provides immediate manual actuation. This Apollo Valves 26-500 series component is engineered for durability in HVACR applications where reliable flow isolation is critical for system maintenance and pressure monitoring. The Male NPT connection ensures a secure, tapered thread fit for standard piped interfaces.

• Enhanced Durability: Constructed from high-zinc ASTM grade bronze for corrosion resistance in steam and water lines.
• High Pressure Rating: Rated for up to 250 PSI, making it suitable for moderate-pressure boiler applications.
• Superior Sealing: Equipped with PTFE soft seats and graphite packing to prevent stem leakage and ensure long-term seat integrity.
• Fast Actuation: The lever-operated mechanism allows for rapid manual isolation compared to traditional multi-turn valves.
• Versatile Application: Ideal for use as a test cock, drain valve, or liquid level gauge valve.

What is the maximum temperature rating for the Conbraco 26-504-01?
This bronze body lever cock is typically rated for saturated steam temperatures up to 406°F, provided the pressure does not exceed 250 PSI.

Can this valve be used for potable water systems?
The 26-504-01 is primarily designed for industrial HVACR and mechanical piping. Contractors should verify local lead-free requirements if considering it for potable water applications.

Is the lever handle reversible on this model?
The lever is factory-set for standard quarter-turn operation; however, the simple lever operated design allows for easy field inspection and manual override during system blowdowns.
