A flared connection is not subject to the high assembly torque common to pipe-threaded connections, thereby greatly reducing the chance of body seam seal failure and subsequent leakage
Chrome plated ball and soft seats resist contamination build-up and offer a positive seal in low- or moderate-pressure gas applications
Quarter-turn, ball-type, forged brass design is more compact and superior to traditional cast bronze or cast iron gas cocks
The 175 psi pressure rating permits high-pressure air tests, without the grease-seal blowout common to plug-type gas cocks
Not suitable for steam service
