Curtis Superior Valve is experienced in valve design and can help solve your valve problems. In most cases a standard Curtis Superior Valve will do the job. Or possibly a slight modification of a production unit will answer a specific problem. We will be glad to give you any assistance you may require with your Quick Drain Valve application.

MAINTENANCE / CMM

Curtis Superior Valves are designed for installation in a standard NPT port for NPT threaded valves or an AND-10050 stlye port for UNF threaded valves. Use a sealant on NPT threaded valves or a fuel resistant o-ring of the proper size for UNF threaded valves. Refer to aircraft manufacturers torque specifications for the aircraft in which it is being used. Curtis Superior Valves require no special maintenance. Keep them reasonably clean and replace according to the prescribed synthetic rubber maintenance schedule for the aircraft in which they are used or 10 year usable life per Curtis Superior Valve whichever occurs first. Curtis Superior Valves cannot be OVERHAULED. Replace the entire valve per the maintenance schedule of the aircraft in which it is used or usable life per Curtis Superior Valve should it begin to leak.

OVERHAUL

Due to the low replacement cost of Curtis Quick Drain Valves versus the cost of replacement seals, breakage of seals in overhaul installations and labor costs, it is not recommended they be overhauled. Replace the entire valve in accordance with the instructions in MAINTENANCE above or should they begin to leak.

When I received my package that was shipped via USPS, it had been ripped wide open and the contents were gone. I called aircraft spruce, and they were above and beyond helpful, they sent out a new order immediately an filed a claim with the post office. With this level of service, I will always do my business with this company.

This is a replacement part. It performs the way it is supposed to. I am happy with it.

Vern B

Nice replacement product. It fixed my leaky right wing and is saving me money since fuel is staying IN the tank. It was very easy to install.

Shipped quickly, and arrived in good shape. Work perfectly.

The valve itself is great quality. BUT, the reason I purchased them was because of the failure of the seal, which according to information available, the seal/packing is not available for replacement I did use either an MS 29513-006 or -007 to test. Although it fit, and did not leak, since it was not called out as a replacement I opted to purchase new replacement Curtis valves CCA1550 & CAA 1600 for my Tri Pacer.

Works great. It is a good idea to change these out every few years. I used the Ez Turn Lubricant as a sealer and it worked great. Be careful not to tighten them too much as the valve will become stuck.

Perfect fit and function. It is very difficult to get these things lined up to go into the wing, especially if gas is coming out while you are trying to put it in. Completely drain the tank or prepare to be gased.

As another Dave said these things are just part of flying a plane. I keep 2 spares in my plane as it doesn’t take much for them to start leaking. I would advise carrying vise grips as wrench’s will strip that brass fitting.

Well - what do you want to rate at this part. It either works or not. In my case: I have installed it, and it doesnt leak. As expected.

Mr. T
October 12, 2017

Since the special seal is not available, the price on the valve is not too bad. Numerous applications.

Rick G

These are the correct valves for circa- 1968 Cherokee 140/180 airplanes

Stan S
May 17, 2013

Not much to say other than they wear out and need replaced and as such I usually keep two in my plane when traveling. The little o-ring is susceptible to wear and then leaks. Just part of flying

Dave
May 10, 2018

I would rate it five stars if the o-ring were replaceable.

Nick J

These drain valves have been around for decades, so you would think the engineering is perfected. We replaced these not that long ago, and it wasnt long before they started dripping sporadically. I know that can be caused by faulty O rings or a speck of foreign matter in the fuel. Anyway, I hope these last longer.

Marc N

First one installed leaked. Had to cycle valve several times to get proper seating and seal. I am not confident in this product.

purchased two new less than a year ago. aircraft hangered and now they leak. not bad but leave stain and is getting worst.

After just a few months the valve is already leaking. It’s leaking about a drop every 24 hours. I’ve had good success with these valves in the past. May be a manufacturing defect.

David C
August 20, 2020

replaced both tanks. 6 months later, both are leaking drops. This was a direct replacement on 50 yr old piper part, so not sure what happened to their quality.

Please note, Aircraft Spruce's personnel are not certified aircraft mechanics and can only provide general support and ideas, which should not be relied upon or implemented in lieu of consulting an A&P or other qualified technician. Aircraft Spruce assumes no responsibility or liability for any issue or problem which may arise from any repair, modification or other work done from this knowledge base. Any product eligibility information provided here is based on general application guides and we recommend always referring to your specific aircraft parts manual, the parts manufacturer or consulting with a qualified mechanic.

Q: I need a gasket for this Curtis CCA-1550 drain valve, where can I find the part number?

Per the manufacturer, replacement seals for these drain valves are no longer available. We do not recommend that they be overhauled. Replace the valve if it begins to leak.

Additionally, the valve is not recommended for halogenated hydrocarbons, nitro hydrocarbons, Phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, automotive brake fluids, ketone, ethers or alcohols. Fuels with additives such as alcohol or ether can cause premature deterioration of the seal rings.

Q: What is the difference between the CCA-1250 and the CCA-1550?

CCA-1250 is spiral, twist open and CCA-1550 is push to open, turn to lock and conforms to NSN 2915-00-202-6420 when CCA-1250 does not.

Q: Do these Curtis pipe thread drain valves come with the required o-rings?

This does not accept an o-ring and only accepts a seal. The seal is built in to the valve.

Q: What is the operating pressure of these valves?

This valve is gravity fed so there is no operating pressure that it pushes fluid out. However, this has been has been tested at 40psi if fluid was to push through the valve.

Q: What material are these made of?

The drain valves are made of brass.

Q: What type of sealant should I use with a CCA-1550 fuel drain valve?

They recommend a Teflon tape or EZ-turn (fuel lube) type liquid sealant.

Q: What is the weight of the Curtis CCA 1550 valve, part # 05-01869?

Approx 0.03 lbs.

Q: What is the difference between Curtis drain valves CCA1550 and CCA1250? Specs, price and appearance seem the same?

Difference is only locking action. 1550 Push, turn to lock. 1250 Spiral, turn to lock (easier to activate).

Q: Does product 05-01869 apply to product 10580?

Yes that has the correct thread to use with the 10580.

Q: What is the correct pn for o-ring replacement? These valves leaking to often to replace valve each occurrence

Per the manufacturer, replacement seals for these drain valves are no longer available. We do not recommend that they be overhauled. Replace the valve if it begins to leak. These have seals not orings, and an off the shelf oring may leak.
