Brass Ball Drip Valve for Fire Sprinklers
This brass ball drip valve is designed for horizontal installation on fire department connection piping to provide automatic drainage. It suits installers and facility managers who need a reliable drain point that meets system requirements for fire protection.
Threaded FIP Connection Simplifies Install
The valve uses a 1/2 inch FIP thread for a secure connection to compatible pipework, allowing straightforward assembly with standard tools. Ensure the thread sealant used is approved for fire sprinkler systems and that the valve is oriented horizontally as specified to avoid improper drainage.
Verify System Pressure and Horizontal Layout
Before ordering, confirm the fire sprinkler system operates within the valve’s rated pressure range and that the installation location allows horizontal mounting only. Check local codes for any additional requirements on drain valves and verify that the brass material is compatible with the system’s water chemistry.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 681T012-NL ball drip valve is draining properly after installation?
After pressurising the fire sprinkler system, observe the valve outlet during a test cycle; water should discharge automatically when pressure drops, confirming the horizontal brass valve is functioning as intended.
What comes with the 681T012-NL valve and what must I source separately?
The package contains the brass FIP ball drip valve only; pipe thread sealant, wrenches and any required nipples or adapters for the 1/2 inch connection are not included.
Which version of the Everflow 681 series should I select for a horizontal fire department connection?
Choose the 681T012-NL model — it is specifically built for horizontal use on fire department connection pipe and carries the Proposition 65 lead warning for California compliance.
