Brass Flush Cock

Product Description

Brass Flush Cocks

A brass flush cock (or flush valve) is a heavy-duty, high-flow valve typically used for toilets and urinals in commercial and industrial settings. Unlike a domestic cistern, a flush cock is connected directly to the water supply line and relies on high water pressure to provide a powerful, metered flush.

Industrial Application & Design

Brass is the industry standard for these valves because it can handle high-frequency operation and resists the corrosive effects of constant water contact.

• Concealed Flush Cock: Installed behind the wall or within a duct, with only the operating lever or button exposed. This is common in high-traffic public restrooms to prevent tampering.

• Exposed Flush Cock: Mounted directly on the wall above the fixture. It is easier to maintain and repair since all components are accessible.

• Dual-Flush Options: Modern brass flush valves often include a dual-action lever, allowing for a "short flush" (liquid waste) and a "full flush" (solid waste) to conserve water.

• Selection Checklist

  1. Pipe Diameter: Most industrial flush cocks require a 32mm (1.25 inch) inlet to provide the necessary volume of water for a clean flush. Check your plumbing diameter before selection.

  2. Mounting Style: Determine if you need an elbow-type (for side entry) or a straight-type connection based on your fixture's location.

  3. Handle Type: Choose between a traditional push-lever or a push-button mechanism based on the desired user experience and accessibility requirements.
