Conbraco 26-314-01 Gauge Cock

The Conbraco 26-314-01 is a professional-grade 1/2 inch male NPT gauge cock engineered for critical isolation in steam and hydronic systems. Featuring a rugged satin brass body, this compression gauge cock is built to withstand demanding boiler environments, providing an essential shut-off point for pressure monitoring equipment. The design incorporates a stainless steel ball seat and a robust stuffing box, ensuring a leak-free seal and smooth operation even under high-cycle conditions in industrial and HVACR settings.

Rated for a maximum pressure of 250 PSI at temperatures up to 400??F, this Apollo Valves component is specifically designed for draining expansion tanks and isolating liquid storage vessels. The high-visibility aluminum wheel provides technicians with precise manual control, while the 1/2" NPT connection ensures seamless integration with standard piping manifolds. This heavy-duty assembly allows for the maintenance or replacement of pressure gauges without requiring a complete system depressurization, maintaining operational efficiency and safety on the job site.

Key Benefits:

• Satin brass construction offers superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability in moisture-rich environments.
• High-temperature rating of 400??F makes it ideal for steam boiler applications and hot water systems.
• Stainless steel ball seat provides a reliable, wear-resistant closure that outperforms standard soft seats.
• Aluminum handwheel ensures easy operation and positive shut-off, even for technicians wearing work gloves.
• Maintenance-ready design enables simple gauge isolation, reducing downtime during routine system inspections.

Common Questions:

• Can this gauge cock be used for steam service? Yes, its 250 PSI and 400??F rating makes it suitable for many low to medium pressure steam applications and boiler water columns.
• What is the primary function of the 26-314-01? It is used to isolate a pressure gauge from the main system, allowing for gauge calibration or replacement without shutting down the entire line.
• Is the handle made of plastic or metal? This model features a durable aluminum wheel handle, designed for industrial longevity and better heat dissipation than composite alternatives.
