Backing Block for 3/4" & 1" Seacocks
Features:
The GROCO Backing Block (part number BB-1) is a marine-grade PVC foam component designed to facilitate the secure installation of 3/4" and 1" seacocks. This product is intended for IT hardware resellers serving clients in marine industries or those requiring specialized mounting solutions for fluid control systems. It addresses the challenge of securely mounting seacocks to a hull, providing a rigid yet conformable interface. The 1/2" thick block integrates press-threaded brass inserts, which are installed into pre-drilled holes matching the seacock flange. Its PVC foam construction ensures it will not swell or absorb moisture, making it suitable for demanding marine environments. This backing block is a practical solution for ensuring stable and long-lasting seacock installations, mitigating issues related to material degradation or insufficient mounting rigidity.
This backing block is designed for use with both 3/4" and 1" seacocks. Its design allows it to fit multiple seacock sizes within this range.
The backing block is constructed from an environmentally friendly PVC foam. This material is specially formulated for marine applications, ensuring it will not swell or absorb moisture.
Installation involves pressing threaded brass inserts into the hull side of the backing block. These inserts align with the holes on the seacock flange, providing a secure mounting point.
The backing block has a rigid 1/2" thickness. This provides a secure installation while remaining flexible enough to conform to minor hull curvature.
