Watts 0792002 Test Cock
The Watts 0792002 (Model SAE-TC) is a high-performance 1/8" NPT x 1/4" SAE flare bronze test cock engineered for backflow preventer testing and isolation. This lead-free bronze component is the direct OEM replacement for legacy parts 0006631, 0006904, and earlier SAE-TC-1/8 configurations. Designed for heavy-duty service in potable water systems, it features a rugged quarter-turn ball valve design ensuring positive shut-off and ease of operation during annual backflow certification. The precision-machined threads facilitate a secure connection to the pressure sensing ports of Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) and Double Check Valve (DCV) assemblies. By utilizing a high-tensile bronze body, this test cock maintains structural integrity under fluctuating pressures, making it an essential HVACR and plumbing part for maintaining system compliance. This part allows technicians to connect differential pressure gauges quickly for accurate field testing and troubleshooting of Watts backflow preventers.
Key Benefits- Universal Compatibility: Serves as the updated direct replacement for discontinued Watts part numbers 0006631 and 0006904.
- Optimized Flow Control: The 1/8" NPT x 1/4" SAE flare configuration supports standard testing equipment and ensures leak-free diagnostics.
- Corrosion Resistance: Heavy-duty bronze construction provides longevity in damp environments and high-moisture mechanical rooms.
- Easy Operation: Low-torque quarter-turn handle allows for precise control during backflow testing procedures.
Is the Watts 0792002 compatible with other brands of backflow preventers?
While specifically designed for Watts backflow assemblies, its standard 1/8" NPT thread allows it to fit any device with a corresponding 1/8" test port, provided the application meets the pressure and temperature ratings.
Can this test cock be used in lead-free applications?
Yes, the Watts 0792002 is manufactured using lead-free materials, making it suitable for use in potable water systems and compliant with modern plumbing codes.
Does this unit include the flare cap?
This specific model is the bronze test cock assembly; it is recommended to verify if additional protective caps are required for your specific installation environment to prevent debris build-up in the flare connection.
