Brass Heavy Flush Cock

Product Description

Heavy-Duty Brass Flush Cocks

Heavy-duty brass flush cocks are engineered for extreme durability in high-traffic commercial and industrial environments. Unlike standard models, "heavy" variants feature a thicker forged brass body to withstand higher water pressure and prevent structural fatigue over time.

Industrial Strength Features

• Reinforced Forging: These valves are typically made from heavy-weight brass (CW617N grade), which provides superior resistance to "de-zincification" and corrosion, even with treated or hard water.

• High-Pressure Seals: Equipped with industrial-grade EPDM or Silicon diaphragms, these units can handle sudden pressure spikes without leaking or losing calibration.

• Vandal Resistance: Many heavy-duty models feature reinforced levers and concealed mounting points to prevent damage or tampering in public spaces.

• Application Best Practices

  1. Direct Supply: Ensure the valve is connected to a primary supply line. Heavy-duty flush cocks require high volume (liters per second) to clear industrial-sized fixtures effectively.

  2. Adjustable Timing: Look for models with an adjustable screw. This allows you to calibrate the flush duration (typically 5-8 seconds) to meet water conservation standards while ensuring a clean bowl.

  3. Replaceable Cartridge: High-quality heavy brass valves feature a replaceable internal cartridge, allowing for easy maintenance without removing the entire brass housing from the wall.
