1-1/2" Bronze Tri-Flanged Ball Valve/Seacock
Features:
The GROCO 1-1/2" Bronze Tri-Flanged Ball Valve/Seacock, part number FBV-1500, is designed for marine and industrial applications requiring reliable fluid control. Constructed from C83600 bronze with a chrome-plated solid brass ball and PTFE seats/seals, this valve offers durability and a full-flow design. It is suitable for IT hardware resellers supporting clients with marine infrastructure or industrial systems where robust valving is critical. The tri-flanged base is engineered to match the bolt patterns of most popular brands, simplifying retrofit installations. For maintenance, the valve includes a grease zerk fitting for lubrication (to be used when the valve is open) and a drain plug, which can also utilize the zerk. Its field-reversible handle allows for flexible closed-position orientation, and a square hole on the handle accommodates a standard ratchet for easier operation in confined spaces or with stiff valves. A bonding attachment is also integrated into the base.
The valve features C83600 bronze construction for the body, a chrome-plated solid brass ball, and PTFE seats and seals. The handle and hardware are made from stainless steel.
Yes, the triangular base has a bolt pattern designed to match most popular brands, which facilitates straightforward retrofits into existing installations.
