It is constructed from premium 2010-compliant brass, a lead-free-grade brass formulation, so it resists corrosion while providing a durable, long-term seal. The valve is fitted with an easy-twist handle for simple opening and closing when draining the tank, and it installs with standard 1\/2 inch NPT male threads for a secure, leak-resistant connection to the water heater fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis valve is rated for a maximum working pressure of 150 psi and a maximum working temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit, matching the demands of a residential-style water heater drain port. It measures 5.5 inches in height, 3.63 inches in width, and 0.87 inches in length, and it is meant for indoor use. Whether you are replacing a cracked plastic drain valve or upgrading to a sturdier brass design, the Camco Brass Water Heater Drain Valve, part number 11703, is a straightforward swap that restores reliable draining and winterizing performance to your water heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Camco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11703\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2010-compliant brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/2 inch NPT male threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-on drain valve with easy-twist handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 psi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Working Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 210 degrees Fahrenheit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.63 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.138 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 014717117036\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size threads does the Camco 11703 drain valve have?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Camco 11703 drain valve has 1\/2 inch NPT male threads, letting it screw directly into a standard water heater drain port.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this drain valve made of brass or plastic?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is made from 2010-compliant brass, not plastic, which gives the Camco 11703 valve better resistance to corrosion and wear than a stock plastic drain valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum pressure this valve can handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e 150 psi is the maximum rated pressure for the Camco Brass Water Heater Drain Valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum temperature rating?\u003c\/strong\u003e The valve is rated to a maximum working temperature of 210 degrees Fahrenheit, part number 11703.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this valve outdoors?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the Camco 11703 drain valve is meant for indoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the Camco 11703 valve?\u003c\/strong\u003e It measures 5.5 inches in height, 3.63 inches in width, and 0.87 inches in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does this drain valve weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Camco Brass Water Heater Drain Valve weighs 0.138 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the valve have a handle for opening and closing it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, an easy-twist handle is built into the Camco 11703 valve so it can be opened and closed by hand without extra tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs installation difficult?\u003c\/strong\u003e Installation is straightforward: the Camco 11703 valve is a screw-on design that threads into the existing 1\/2 inch NPT drain port on the water heater.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy replace my water heater drain valve with this brass version?\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass construction on the Camco 11703 gives a more durable, watertight replacement for a worn or cracked factory drain valve, particularly plastic valves that are prone to cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Camco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49027482714331,"sku":"CAM-11703","price":8.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/cam-11703_lg__73991.1722488788.500.750.jpg?v=1785163589","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/camco-brass-water-heater-drain-valve-1-2-inch-npt","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
