5M - 1/2" Quarter-Turn Sediment valve ( Red/Blue handle) - 5M-1214BDV

The 5M Quarter-Turn Sediment Valve (Boiler Drain) – MIP × FIP is a lead-free brass boiler drain valve designed for fast shutoff and controlled draining of boilers, water heaters, piping systems, and other plumbing equipment. Featuring a 1/2 in male pipe thread (MIP) inlet and a 3/4 in female hose thread (FIP/GHT) outlet, the valve provides a durable connection for standard garden hoses, making draining and flushing quick and convenient. The quarter-turn ball valve design allows smooth, full-flow operation with minimal effort, while the corrosion-resistant brass body ensures long service life in residential and commercial plumbing applications. It is available with either a red or blue handle for easy system identification.

Usage

This sediment valve is installed on boilers, water heaters, storage tanks, and plumbing systems to simplify draining, flushing, and maintenance. The 1/2 in MIP inlet threads directly into a female pipe fitting, while the 3/4 in garden hose thread outlet allows a standard hose to be attached for directing discharged water to a floor drain or outdoors. The quarter-turn handle provides quick opening and closing, making the valve ideal for routine servicing, sediment removal, and winterization of plumbing and heating systems.
