Boiler Drain, 3/4 Straight Pattern

This 3/4-inch straight-pattern boiler drain from American Granby is a brass hose-bib-style valve for draining tanks, water heaters, and plumbing systems, or for adding a convenient hose connection point. The straight-pattern design routes flow in line with the valve body for efficient draining, and the MIPT connection threads directly into a 3/4-inch female port for a quick, secure installation.

Boiler drains are everyday workhorses on treatment tanks and heaters, giving you an easy place to flush sediment, relieve a system, or attach a garden hose for directed draining. The straight-pattern layout keeps the flow path simple and unobstructed, while the generous 3/4-inch size provides higher flow than smaller drains, which means faster draining when you need to empty a tank or flush accumulated debris. Solid brass construction delivers the corrosion resistance and durability demanded by the wet, hard-working environments where these valves are installed.

Use this drain valve to add a hose-connection outlet to tanks, filters, and water treatment equipment, making maintenance and flushing far easier and far less messy. The threaded spout accepts a standard garden hose, so drained water can be routed to a floor drain, sump, or outdoors rather than spilling at the valve.

When installing, apply PTFE tape or pipe dope to the MIPT threads and tighten to a firm, leak-free joint. The straightforward design makes operation intuitive: open the valve to drain, close it when finished. Durable, high-flow, and easy to use, this 3/4-inch straight-pattern boiler drain is a dependable choice for years of reliable draining and flushing duty across a wide range of plumbing and water treatment applications. The higher flow of the 3/4-inch size is particularly welcome when emptying a large tank, where a smaller drain would turn a quick job into a long wait, so matching drain size to tank volume is worth a moment's thought. Mounting the drain at the lowest accessible point of the tank or line ensures the most complete draining, and pointing the spout where a hose can be conveniently attached makes routine flushing a quick, tidy task rather than a chore.
