Frequently Asked Questions
What is a meter cock used for?
A meter cock is a small valve used primarily to isolate or control the flow to pressure gauges, flow meters, or sampling equipment. It is commonly found in marine engine rooms and boiler applications.
Are these cocks suitable for saltwater?
While brass offers good corrosion resistance, prolonged exposure to saltwater may cause dezincification. These cocks are best suited for fresh water, air, oil, and non-corrosive gases. For direct saltwater service, consider alternative materials.
What sizes are available?
These meter cocks are offered in standard NPT sizes including 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2". Custom sizes may be available upon request.
Can the lever handle be repositioned?
Yes, the lever handle is designed to be removable and repositioned to suit the installation orientation, typically at 90° or 180° intervals.
