What Is the Waterous Drain Valve Cable?
The Waterous Drain Valve Cable is a critical replacement part for maintaining efficient operation in fire pumps and related firefighting equipment. This cable connects the drain valve handle or lever to the valve itself, enabling firefighters to drain water from the pump quickly and easily. Proper functionality of this cable ensures the pump remains ready for action and protected from potential damage.
Why Choose a Replacement Waterous Drain Valve Cable?
Over time, the drain valve cable may become worn, damaged, or corroded. When this happens, it can hinder the operation of the drain valve, making it difficult to open or close. Replacing the damaged cable with a genuine Waterous part restores the system’s reliability. It also helps prevent freezing damage in colder climates and protects the pump from internal corrosion by ensuring proper drainage after use.
How Does the Drain Valve Cable Work?
The cable links the drain valve handle to the valve mechanism. When the handle moves, the cable transmits the motion, allowing the valve to open or close as needed. This simple yet effective design enables firefighters to drain water efficiently, supporting quick maintenance and reliable performance.
Tips for Choosing and Using the Replacement Cable

A properly working cable prevents operational delays and extends the life of your fire pump. Choose the replacement Waterous Drain Valve Cable to keep your firefighting equipment performing at its best, even in demanding conditions.
