SAF-AIR CAV-170 PUSHTYPE FUEL DRAIN VALVE

Overview

SAF-AIR valves are manufactured with an o-ring placed on the stem to seal against a flat seat on the body. This design eliminates an area where dirt can gather, thus putting an end to the main cause of fuel drain valve drip. FAA & PMA APPROVED. Note: Aircraft applications are for general reference only. Verify correct valve for your aircraft before ordering. MODEL CAV-170 For all Cessna late 140A models, 150, 170, 170A, 170B, 172 and 175. Thread size: 7/16-20 NF-3 |
