Why brass matters for misting systems
Brass provides robust longevity against weather exposure, mineral deposits, and outdoor humidity. Unlike plastics, brass maintains a tight seal over time, reducing the risk of leaks and ensuring consistent drainage performance. The Orbit Brass Misting System Drain Valve is built to endure the demands of frequent seasonal draining and repeated assembly.

- Seasonal shutdowns for patios, greenhouses, or outdoor cooling systems—store the valve with your system and reassemble when ready to use again.
- Maintenance routines that require a clear pathway to flush out residual water or sediment from the tubing network.
- Repairs or component swaps: replace worn drain points quickly without dismantling the entire misting line.

Installation and maintenance tips
- Shut off water supply to the misting system and relieve any pressure before installing or removing the drain valve.
- Thread the valve into the designated drain port on your Orbit network, ensuring a snug, leak-free seal.
- During winterization, open the valve to allow complete drainage of the tubing and close it before reconnecting for seasonal use.
- Periodically inspect for wear or mineral buildup; a light cleaning with a soft brush helps maintain a clean seal.
