Backing Block for 2" & 2-1/2" Seacocks
Features:
The GROCO Backing Block, part number BB-3, is a replacement component designed for marine applications involving 2-inch and 2-1/2-inch seacocks. This backing block provides a stable mounting surface, addressing challenges related to secure seacock installation on hulls. Constructed from a marine-grade PVC foam, it resists swelling and moisture absorption, contributing to long-term reliability in wet environments. Its 1/2-inch thickness offers rigidity for secure attachment while maintaining enough flexibility to adapt to minor hull curvatures. The design incorporates holes for pressing threaded brass inserts, facilitating a robust connection to the seacock flange. This product is suitable for IT and facilities managers overseeing marine equipment maintenance or new installations where a durable and conforming backing block is required for seacocks within the specified size range.
The backing block is made from an environmentally friendly PVC foam. This material is specifically formulated for marine applications, ensuring it will not swell or absorb moisture.
The backing block has a rigid 1/2-inch thickness for secure installation, but it is also flexible enough to conform to minor hull curvature, ensuring a flush and stable mount.
The design features holes on the hull side of the backing block where threaded brass inserts are pressed in to match the seacock flange. The product data does not specify if the inserts are included.
