Description
3" Full Flow Ball Valve This GROCO flanged ball valve is designed for controlling the flow and pressure of fluids in a pipeline system. Features: 1-1/4" sizes and larger include one grease zerk fitting for lubrication (use only with the valve in the open position), and one drain plug.
The zerk can also be used for draining. The patented field reversible handle allows you to select the closed position orientation (clockwise or counter-clockwise) that best suits the installation.
The handle has a square hole to accept standard ratchet, to help reach valves in hard-to-reach locations and ease the actuation of difficult-to-operate valves. Full flow A triangular base with a bolt pattern to match most popular brands makes retrofit easy.

Marine Plumbing & Ventilation — frequently asked
- How do I size a bilge pump?
- Bilge pumps are rated in gallons per hour (GPH), but actual output is lower once you account for hose length and vertical lift. Choose a pump rated well above your expected worst-case water intrusion, and consider a second, higher-capacity pump plus a float switch for automatic operation.
- Can I use regular garden hose for my boat’s water system?
- No. Marine plumbing uses purpose-built hose rated for the specific system — potable water, sanitation, and raw-water/bilge hoses differ in pressure rating, temperature resistance, and permeation. Using the wrong hose causes odors, leaks, or contamination.
- Why is ventilation important on a boat?
- Ventilation clears moisture that causes mildew and rot, and — critically on gasoline boats — clears fuel vapors from the engine compartment before starting. Blowers, cowl vents, and dorade boxes keep air moving through cabin and engine spaces for safety and comfort.
