Bradford White 415-42351-02 Drain Valve
The Bradford White 415-42351-02 Drain Valve is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade brass water heater drain valve designed for direct replacement in professional plumbing applications. Constructed with high-strength brass to resist dezincification and thermal stress, this valve features 3/4" NPT threads for a secure, leak-free connection to the tank. It is engineered to handle the high-temperature environments typical of industrial 415-42351-02 parts, ensuring reliable sediment flushing and tank maintenance. The low-profile design and robust internal seals prevent the common dripping issues found in standard plastic alternatives. This OEM water heater replacement part is essential for contractors performing routine maintenance or repairs, providing the durability required for long-term service life in both residential and light commercial water heating systems.
Key Benefits
- Durable Brass Construction: Superior resistance to corrosion and high-heat cycles compared to composite valves.
- Standard Compatibility: Features a universal 3/4 inch male NPT inlet for easy retrofitting into existing tank ports.
- Enhanced Flow Rate: Engineered to facilitate rapid tank drainage, effectively clearing sediment and mineral buildup.
- Secure Seal Performance: Precision-machined internal components ensure a positive shut-off to eliminate post-drainage leaks.
Common Questions
Is the Bradford White 415-42351-02 compatible with other brands?
While designed as a specific OEM part for Bradford White units, the universal 3/4" NPT thread allows it to fit most standard water heater tanks requiring a brass drain assembly.
What is the maximum temperature rating for this brass drain valve?
This valve is designed to withstand standard domestic and commercial hot water temperatures, typically rated for continuous operation up to 180°F.
Why should I upgrade from a plastic valve to this brass version?
Plastic valves are prone to cross-threading and thermal cracking; the brass 415-42351-02 provides structural integrity and reliable operation over the lifetime of the water heater.
