Groco Bronze Tri-Flanged Ball Valve Seacock, 3/4 Inch NPT (FBV-750)
The Groco FBV-750 is a 3/4 inch bronze tri-flanged ball valve seacock designed to control water flow through a thru-hull fitting below the waterline. Built from solid bronze, it provides corrosion resistance for continuous seawater and marine environment exposure, making it suitable for use as a below-waterline shutoff on intake or discharge thru-hull applications. The valve features a tri-flanged body with a full-bore ball valve mechanism for reliable open/close operation, and its flanged design allows for secure mounting to the hull with multiple fastener points for added structural integrity compared to a single-flange design.
The FBV-750 has a 3/4 inch National Pipe Tapered (NPT) inlet connection and a 3/4 inch flanged outlet connection, with 2 total ports. The exterior finish is available in chrome or stainless steel. This seacock is intended for boat owners and marine technicians installing or replacing thru-hull shutoff valves where a durable, corrosion-resistant bronze ball valve is required.
