Product Description
Overview
The Southbend (Middleby) DVHK-1 Draw-Off Valve Hose Kit is a purpose-built solution for kettles and steam-jacketed cooking vessels that use a 1-1/2" drain valve. In a new restaurant kitchen buildout, reliable drain connections are essential for safe, efficient service and sanitary operations. This 8' (2.44m) hose kit is engineered to provide a secure, durable link between the kettle draw-off valve and your waste plumbing or floor drain. For restaurateurs launching a concept, the DVHK-1 removes a common installation obstacle with a pre-sized, service-grade hose ready for fast fitting.
