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.
