Conbraco 50-703-06 Gas Cock
The Conbraco 50-703-06 is a professional-grade 2" main burner gas valve engineered for high-demand commercial and industrial heating systems. Constructed from heavy-duty ASTM B584 bronze, this manual gas cock is specifically designed to manage high-volume fuel delivery, supporting up to 7,300,000 BTU/hr. It features a 2" female NPT connection for secure integration into large-scale gas piping. A defining characteristic of the Apollo 50-700 series is the inclusion of dual 1/4" NPT pilot tappings on both sides of the body, providing versatile installation options for pilot line routing; one side comes pre-plugged for immediate use. The valve utilizes an X handle position (cross handle) for reliable manual operation and is CSA design-certified for low-pressure gas applications up to 1/2 PSI. For veteran contractors, this 2-inch bronze gas cock offers the "bubble-tight" shut-off required for systems running natural gas, manufactured gas, or LP gas-air mixtures within a temperature range of 32°F to 125°F.
Key Benefits- High BTU Capacity: Rated for up to 7.3 million BTU/hr, making it ideal for commercial boilers and large industrial furnaces.
- Durable Bronze Construction: Built with ASTM B584 bronze and stainless steel springs to ensure long-term structural integrity in demanding environments.
- Flexible Pilot Configuration: Features dual-sided 1/4" NPT tappings, allowing technicians to orient the pilot line based on field clearances.
- Industry Compliance: Meets ANSI Z21.15 and CSA 9.1 standards for manually operated gas valves.
- Factory Tested: Each unit undergoes 100% factory testing at 10 psig to ensure leak-free performance upon installation.
Is the Conbraco 50-703-06 suitable for high-pressure gas lines?
No, this valve is specifically certified for low-pressure service, with a maximum rating of 1/2 PSI. For high-pressure applications, a dedicated pressure-rated ball valve should be used.
Can the handle orientation be modified in the field?
The 50-703-06 is designed with an X handle (cross handle) configuration. While the pilot tappings offer flexibility, the handle position is fixed to ensure consistent operation according to its design certification.
Does this gas cock come with the pilot plug included?
Yes, the valve is manufactured with both 1/4" NPT bosses drilled and tapped; one side is provided with a plug installed, while the other is open for your pilot connection.
