The full-port ball valve design is a great upgrade from the standard factory valve, allowing for much better flow when flushing the tank. Installation was straightforward, and the brass construction feels very durable. I highly recommend this product if you are looking to replace or upgrade your water heater drain valve Review: Easy to install. Helps with flushing my water heater. - I have been flushing my water heater about once per year due to the hard water where I live. This past December I finally decided to replace the anode rod in my five-year old water heater and was horrified to find it eroded to just the wire. Right then and there I knew two things: 1. I needed to replace my anode rod on an annual basis to start, and, 2. I needed to upgrade the tiny valve on my water heater for more efficient flushing. This looked like a good candidate. What I like: - Nice and weighty. Feels well- made. - Super simple to install. Took less than five minutes with very little cleanup. What I don't like: - This isn't a problem with the valve, but I didn't realize this company offered a straight version. I would have preferred that rather than the slightly angled one I bought. The angle offers no additional benefit and the straight version would have made it easier to push a small brush or host into the water heater itself if I had the desire to do so. My fault. Really nice valve. Other than not choosing the right one, I'm very pleased with it. RECOMMENDED. ## Features - This model HMP011 has a 3 inch long shank.

(Are they white (Teflon) or black (rubber)?)** A: Hi, Thanks for your interest. The seats for the ball are PTFE, the o ring for the stem is EPDM. Thanks **Q: The output shank is clearly smaller diameter than the 3" shank from the water heater, and has a bend, so it seems like this could clog?** A: Both end are 3/4", the water heater end has pipe threads and the discharge end has hose threads. Although there is an angle on this valve there is a full port ball valve, this thing is amazingly better than any stock valve you would find on any brand of water heater. I don't think this valve would have any issues clogging as long as you do the maintenance needed. Where I live we have extremely hard water so I flush about 20 gallons out about every 4 months or so, this keeps my 11 year old tank from making any rumbling noises. **Q: Will this replace a broken drain valve on model eljf-50-j202172000?** A: Yes, the drain valve size (3/4") is pretty much standard across all water heaters. Just make sure that you have clearance for the ball valves handle to swing 90 degrees when you open and close it. Note that it will probably stick out farther than your OEM drain valve due to the 3" long shank, so you'll need to ensure that won't be a problem in your set up. **Q: How can this be advertised as lead free when the packaging has a lead warning?** A: Because of the regulations in California just about everything has a Proposition 65 warning label on it, because they don't know if the product is going to be sold in California. It's not just about lead. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Every water should have one *by M***A on July 21, 2026* I purchased this House Mods brass drain valve for my water heater, and it worked perfectly for exactly what I needed.
